MacOSaiX – fantastic free photo mosaic generator
filed in Apple, Rave, Software on Oct.05, 2009
I have always wanted to try and make a photo mosaic so I went looking to see what software was around to help with this task. As I typically find on the mac there is a great piece of software available, and it is free!
It is called MacOSaiX and can be find here. Unfortunately it appears to no longer be in development but it works fine on Snow Leopard, so that is no biggie.
It is pretty straight forward to use . You select the image that you want to create then select the source for the photos that will be used to make the mosaic. If you do not have enough photos in your iPhoto collection it is smart enough to go online to find more. Be warned it takes a long time to create, depending on your settings. This example (40X40) took about 3+ hours.
The results can be then be printed to create a fantastic piece of art.
Here is an example I created, click on the image to view larger version

Hey great post, I certainly enjoyed it, uniquely regarding the 2nd statement that you finished. The only thing I have to bring up to you would be viewing the web site through the Konquerer browser… for several reason it does not appear to load the web site plus the sidebar seems to break – might want to check that out!
