What is PhotoMontage?

Convert a single photo into thousands of tiny photos. Use the included 20,000 photos, or add your own photos.

PhotoMontage 2000 is a one-trick pony — the application creates a fascinating “photo mosaic” picture of your favorite photograph in a matter of minutes. From a distance, it’s a Pointillist representation of a photograph. Up close, it’s actually composed of tiny, repeated images arranged by color and density.

We selected a photo for the montage, cropped it, adjusted the contrast and brightness, and set a few mosaic parameters, such as the number of photos to use and the Stacking criteria. You can choose up to 1,000 individual images to create your montage, and ArcSoft supplies more than 20,000 on the CD. The processor-intensive conversion took 2 minutes on our 400MHz G3.
However, one part of PhotoMontage that might slow you down is its nonstandard interface. It offers no menu bars, dialog boxes, or obvious ways to quit the application. You may also need to turn on virtual memory for complicated images — we had to bump up PhotoMontage’s RAM allocation to 50MB.

PhotoMontage 2000 may offer just one trick — but oh, what a trick!
