a picture made up of tiny photos?

hi all... just wondering- is there any kind of software etc, to make a picture made up of tiny photos of people?

I've seen them around- at first glance it looks like a somewhat normal photo, but when you look closer you can see it's actually made of little photos...

Thanks!

your looking for software that will make Photomosaics.

I made an app like that for my final year project in my degree course.

Rob Silvers came up with the idea:

I seem to remember that the poster for "The Truman Show" used this technique!

This is a piece of donationware (or free) software which will do it.

Very easy.

yup - there are a few examples on that site i included that you might recognise too - like the one of Bill Gates or Diana on the cover of Newsweek.

good luck with it - and add a few examples of your results. (tip - you'll need thousands of photo's in your library if you want good results)
