The problem with mosaic imaging software is the enormous amount of pics you have to enter to get good results. Even then, the images are so tiny it might as well not be a mosaic because they are either not relevant to the image or simply not visible. True dedication to one subject using the same theme as the pics that make up the mosaic is the art behind it. (romantic mosaic of a couple made up of 500 + photos of that couple or one like that of kids or grand kids.) I'm sure a couple of guys out there are thinking, 'I bet that woman will lift that restraining order once she I impress her with this mosaic of her made from over 500 pictures I have taken of her with my telescopic lens.' but you may want to rethink that. ;-)
So here is my test mosaic using their stock photos from the last giveaway:

Hello Weezie ;)

The wrapper used for the file is also loaded with "Themida" (there is a discussion at present on this on the GotD blog). Many people are not happy (including me). Since it's inclusion, attempted downloads are horrendous. I'll leave you to follow the thread:

Hello everyone,

I haven't downloaded yet cause I'm wondering why the file size here is 15.6 MB here, 7.3MB on Artensoft's website and approximately 8.57MB on other websites online. Different file sizes for the same Photo Mosaic 1.6? How can that be?

Artensoft is usually a good developer that offers very good software so I'll probably download anyway but if anyone can explain I would really appreciate it.

Thanks GOTD & Artensoft. Have a nice day everyone :-)

I run the executable, it appears to install, I get the window with the registration info, but it hasn't installed. At least there's no folder anywhere other than the .zip file containing the exe and the readme. Repeat with same results.

I know it's a technical issue but--come on--we're here for free software, not to spend a half an hour poking round in your forums. I wanted to leave a heads up for others who might be having the same issue that they're not alone.

Keep up the mostly good work, GOTD. But for now, my pictures remain, sadly, un-mosiacized.
