Mosaiccreator 2.0

I wanted to see inspired through the cinema advertisement "The Trumanshow" how difficult  it is to compute a mosaic picture. Therefore I had started thinking about an algorithm for that. The Mosaiccreator (old version) was the result. However, unfortunately this program does not work anymore efficiently from an amount of 50000 pictures. Therefore I re-worked the underlying structure.


While re-working still some new ideas entered the new software:
- single mosaicsegments can be processed
- the size of the thumbnails is flexibly and dependents no more on the selected picturecatalog
- the transparency the fade over respectively was expanded in such a way that edges are more translucent in the picture than the remaining surfaces
- multilingual (English / German)

The program can be downloaded below.
