Product Description:

MacOSaiX lets you create a mosaic representation of an image from hundreds or thousands of individual images. The individual images can be found on local disks, created randomly from fonts, found by keyword through Google's or flickr's image database, pulled from iPhoto or pulled from QuickTime movies. You can also choose rectangles, hexagons or puzzle pieces as the shapes of the tiles in the mosaic. MacOSaiX will automatically determine the best location in the mosaic for each image.

What's new in this version:

Google image sources are now working again.

Certain QuickTime movies no longer cause log files to fill up disk space.

Strange bug - Version: 2.0, 7/20/2008 01:35AM PST

I've used Macosaix in the past, with very nice results.

This new release has a serious bug for me: the nearly white areas are filled with dark tiles.
The borders of the white area are ok, but in the centre the tiles are dark.
In the same way, nearly black areas are filled with light tiles, giving a weird effect on shadows.

I tried many different images, formats, tiles combinations, number and cropping settings with no success.

I wrote the developer, who kindly replied me and sent me a new beta release, which unfortunately has the same problem.
From that moment, I had no more news... he didn't reply to my mails anymore.

Anyone has the same problem with Macosaix?

I liked it enough to leave feedback. It's excellent. You can make fantastic mosaics from your iPhoto library with a couple of clicks, and it's free!

One thing... i use a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz and it slowed it down significantly.

I've used this tool for two years now. It just keeps getting better. Easy to use, fast and mesmerizing to watch in action. I can't imagine trying to do this by hand. Thank you.
