Don't know where you can get it as a personal software package, I'm guessing photoshop is the best tool for it. I do know however that photobox on the internet do this kind of thing.

Picasa does it, as dos quite a few other photo organise software stuff (typicaly the freebie stuff with P&S cameras).


Its easy(ish) to do in photoshop.

I downloaded a program called AndreaMosaic to do it.

I used a program called MontagePlus to do this one. It's fairly basic, but it does allow you to choose how big you want the mosaic tiles to be.

I think this one was done on a medium setting.

I used MontagePlus, but was always disappointed by the end result... Or was I missing something?

I have to say that it is a fairly simple program - having looked at the website for AndreaMosaic, it would appear that the parameters you can tweak make it a much more flexible package.
