Y'know those great posters that are one picture made up from lots & lots of little pictures? I was (maybe mistakingly) under the impressions Photoshop 6 could do this?!? Can it? If so, how? Many Thanx! Mike.

no, Photoshop 6 can't do it. There's a freeware program out there somewhere that does it tho. I can't recall the name of it or where it is, but you might try looking at the tudogs.com website or send off a letter to Chris Pirillo at lockergnome. I think when I originally played with the program a couple years ago, I saw it in Lockergnome

Thanx bones!! That explains why I've wasted hours looking for it! LOL.... Wish I could remember who told me so I could string them up....

The one I know of is called Mosaic Magic , it will generate a larger image from tons of tiny ones.

The Filter Factory CD has over 300 photoshop filters on it, but one in particular, Picture in Picture creates the effect I think you might be looking for. I could dig up the link for you if the CD is still available online. I bought it a couple of years ago. Jade

They were the Visual Manipulation Filters by Mario Klingemann and they used to be sold at i-us but I can't find them anymore. Give me another day and I'll see if I can find them for you - maybe they don't sell them anymore. Jade

You can do in Photoshop what Jade did with the baby picture above, but only in greyscale. The basic idea is you choose an image to use as your "Halftone Dot" and apply it to a different, larger image. Photoshop uses the Halftone Dot to recreate the larger image. I would be happy to explain it in depth, but I'm not sure if greyscale is the way you want to go. Let me know and I'll explain it in full. It's actually pretty easy!

Also check out ArcSoft's PhotoMontage 2000. I think it is $40. I know that comes free with some Epson printers (perhaps others?).
