still toying with what to wrap the indy with...... what do you call it when you get loads of little photos to make a bigger photo ? does it style have a name ?

I think a selection off photos put all together as one is a "Montage". I know what type of image you are thinking of, but don't know if it has the same name.

Ive heard it called a mosaic or 'mosaic of photos' before now.
- Clearly not a special name, but it gets the point across.

Ive often wondered if theres software that can do it for you.

if it's hockney style, it's a joiner.

Is this the answer?

Photomosaics apparently invented by a guy called Robert Silvers

there are several shareware packages that will do this for you you simply select an image and how many photos to use to create the effect, tell the program where the images are to use to make up the bigger picture and it does it for you.

Be careful though if you're thinking of using full photos as there are examples on the internet 15 gig in size though the result is really impressive I'd hate to think what time a home computer would take to sift through all the images to create the finished article.

hope this helps

I think you mean this... Photomosaic

There's software out there to do this with your own images. I've had it demo'd to me by a bloke I work with but he's on leave today so I can't ask him what he used. It may have been Paint Shop Pro but I'm not 100%.

HTH.

Me too, but let's keep it on topic hey?
