A few days ago, on the 25th of June to be more precise, Michael Jackson’s fans from all over the world commemorated one year since his death. And some fans thought of an original way of showing their love for the king of pop and made a huge display with his portrait that was in fact a giant puzzle made of thousands of photos with MJ gathered from a group of fans. I don’t know what was they technology they used for that huge photo, but I do know there is a possibility for you to do this with your digital photos if you use a certain software application called Foto-Mosaik.
You can download Foto-Mosaik here for free, but you should know it’s ad-supported. It takes only a minimal space of 1.8 MB of hard disk space and it’s very easy to install and use. You are guided step by step in learning what you have to do for getting the best result. A wizard layout gives you specific instructions that appear on the screen. This software application can be used to obtain a mosaic photo that is also called a collage out of many smaller photos that can be either stored on a CD or DVD or from your personal collection. If you use your photos they will be added to the data base and the software will automatically analyze this data base to see which photos are fit for obtaining certain shades and colors in order to make up the big mosaic photo you chose to be the result. After several such uses, you will be already an expert in this activity.
You can set up the number and size of the tiles – the smaller photos that will be used for the big picture and you can even choose how often to use a certain photo. If you want to get a better result you should use more photos for that and also it’s better for them to be smaller because in this way they can be chosen more accurately for filling a certain spot on the big frame and they are less obvious. You can even choose to have the original photo displayed next to the mosaic one in order to show the difference and to allow people admire the final result. Any way the photos are still stocked into the data base after use and will be used again in a future process if you want to. The latest version of this software application allows you to backup the photo mosaic you are working on.
I think the final results of your activity using Foto-Mosaik are wonderful ideas for a personalized gift and you can obtain your girlfriend’s picture as a mosaic photo , print it , frame it and I guarantee you she will be impressed.
