We’ve linked to the portable version of the program, so it only takes a moment to get started just launch and unpack it into a convenient folder, then run AndreaMosaic.exe. You’ll be presented with a cluttered dialog, absolutely crammed with configuration options, but don’t be put off. The process begins by clicking the + icon top-left and choosing your source image, the photo you’d like to convert into a mosaic. Start with a picture containing plenty of detail and color variation, as this should deliver the best results. Next, click the Tile Images icon (the button to the right of the image name). Select "Add Folder" and point AndreaMosaic at one or more folders of pictures which you’d like to use within the mosaic. Alternatively, you can ask the program to extract and use frames from a source video. Either way, click "Save List" > OK when you’re done to return to the main window. You could now play around with the various mosaic configuration options: size, resolution, the number of tiles, their layout and more. Experimenting with a few Pattern options, say, will give you an idea of the different ways in which your mosaic can be created. Otherwise, though, just click the Create icon (the button labeled 3, to the right of Tile Images), and wait as the program creates your finished mosaic. There are a few other settings in the same registry position (last used folders, language settings, tooltips on/off) but I will move all that to local files only, configurable with an environment settings so that any folder on the system can be used. (Be sure to zoom in on the image so you can see the tiny photos making it up.) Oddly it won’t display this immediately, instead just opening the destination folder, but double-click the JPG and you can take a look. In the About Box I'm showing the Mosaic Count and the Creation Date of the first Mosaic. Use the alternative link if you have troubles with the download. This worked well for us, but if you have problems then there’s plenty you can try. To create a mosaic follow the tooltips inside AndreaMosaic. Adding more tile images and increasing tile size will improve the quality of the final mosaic, for example. Increasing the "Color Change" figure also gives the program more leeway in adjusting tiles to fit. AndreaMosaic analyzes the colors of each photo in. And of course you can just try different source images, which should help you find out what works, and what doesn’t. AndreaMosaic is an amazing little program that takes one photo as a source, then recreates it using a pool of other pictures, all selected by you.
