MOSAnICk is a utility that creates mosaic-based pictures for Windows Systems

Quote
Theory
MOSAnICk is a utility that creates mosaic-based pictures. Essentially the pictures that MOSAnICk creates are based upon a source image (which, obviously, supplies information on which parts of the result should be red, which parts should be dark, etc.), but is itself made up from dozens / hundreds / thousands of miniature pictures.

Features
(MOSAnICk is written for Win9X/NT/2000)
MOSAnICk keeps multiple image databases (generated by you) of pictures. The pictures are stored in either Portrait (upright) or Landscape (sideways) format, depending on the dimensions of the source images you supply. When generating a mosaic, source images of one type are loaded from a database and made to fit a scaled version of a target picture using various adjusting techniques. These adjusting techniques include various image lighting and tinting models, as well as image mirroring.

Key Features
Independent image databases - no need to keep original pictures on hard drive once they are included in a MOSAnICk database.
Multiple adjusting techniques - fading to white, fading to black, multiplicative tinting, hue shifting and image mirroring all available.
Multiple small image sizes - 64x48, 32x24 and 16x12 (larger sizes will be added in a seperate version if enough requests are received by the Developer)
Downloads

File Transfer...MOSAnICk Executable (52.2Kb Zip File)
This contains the exectuable itself, as well as the history and readme manual.

File Transfer...MOSAnICk Demo Files (757Kb Zip File)
This contains a demo database of sixty pictures and a miniature MOSAnICk icon picture, as well as instructions on how to use these to get the large picture displayed at the top of this page. Also included is the final, resultant file, compressed down in .JPG format.
This requires the Executable above to use!
