?? How to make small pictures into one big picture.

[sfr002]

Does anyone know what these pictures are called. Like if you have a bunch of pictures of flowers and you make a collage and when you step back all the little pics make a big flower?

Does anyone know a program that can create them?

Or an easy way to do them?

I found an example.

Hrm, that would take some time but I am sure it could be done in PS using color variations

Hah, goodluck with that!

[sfr002]

hehe yeah i thought using PS just laying them all out then doing an overlay and using some filter that applys the color of the overlay to the images

[.:Chris:.]

There's a program that does it, and it's free. I'll have to see if I can remember the name of it.

Be aware that it takes a LOT of images to do it though. Most times people will plug their whole archive of images into the program. Don't expect to have 50 images of flowers and get a great end-result... it takes a lot (think a few thousand) because it can't use every image.

EDIT: Found it, see here.

HOLY FUCK
This image is a photomosaic of the famous painting 'Starry Night'. The image is made with over 210.000 tiny photographs and a total size of over 1.500.000.000 points in other words it is a 1.5 Gigapixel Image.

+1 rep for you chris

Well I downloaded it.. it works pretty good. I have about 3000 pics in the folder that it uses. basicly you have to do it then stand back about 10 feet from your screen.. then it will sort of look like it should... still its pretty cool and its free..lol..
