From Darwin's blog..
Hey look at this pic....
Mitzi: I just added a script for you to see the original and rendered image. Just rollover your mouse and you'll see the difference.
Its a picture mosaic i did this afternoon. Each cell are pictures taken from our digital photo album. Heres a blow up section...
Its not that clear..coz' I played it all natural--which means there was no color changing' scheme involve. I got the idea sunday night when i was at Barne's and Noble. I saw this picture mosaic calendar and I thought its really cool. I wanted to make one also. So today, with some internet research on how to make picture mosaic...theres the result. Its soo fun to do that I ended up playin' with it all afternoon hahaha....
Here's the original pic by the way....
coolness.
the pic mosaic isnt that sharp coz' I didnt cheat in makin' em (no color changes, no repeat pics next to each other etc...). Maybe if we take more pics the resolution will be better...well, as for now its cool.
Labor days all over. Summer is suppose to be all over.....even though its still hot (108 degrees today). Just to get out of the house we went out and ate dinner at El Pollo Loco..then to barnes to study some more. Then home na...

I'm his critique actually and it's a trial and error process that's why it needs a lot of patience.. Obviously I dont have that so I only check it once rendering is done. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to render an image. That night, we went to Walgreens to make prints of the mosaic but the largest size they have is 8x10" only. The result wasn't good so Darwin ordered a 16x20" prints in ofoto.com. Darwin searched for a coupon code before checking out and we found a 40% discount at www.xpbargains.com/st_deals.php/Ofoto_coupons.htm. We both laughed coz we're not expecting to see any discount coupon and we used google to look for it.
I cant wait to see the picture mosaic print.. 2 days to wait!!!
My online order from Fry's came in today. I'm so into online ordering na coz it's really convenient. I remember last week, I'm just browsing for a 256 MB SD memory card and I noticed that the $25 rebate ends that same day.. I placed the order at once.. hahaha nag-panick ba? Original price is $40, I got it for only $15... Great deal huh! Almost all my orders has rebate on it.

i did a photo mosaic as a going-away present to red of the akafellas. if u wanna make the primary picture a bit clearer, go to ur adobe photoshop and layer the mosaic pic with the original pic. remove the background of the orig pic so that parang naka-outline lang yung kayong 2 ni darwin. and then set the opacity level para it just faintly enhances the primary picture. ;)
hi aileen, thanks sa advice ;) cge i'll try to do that in Adobe Photoshop but we want the true photo mosaic kasi...hehehe. Darwin ordered a 20x30 print in ofoto and the result is great!!! Naka-frame na yun photo mosaic namin and when you look at it ng mga 5ft away, kuhang-kuha from the original picture and when you look closer naman, kita pa rin yun mga small pictures. I think it's 700 pictures from our album. cool ano!! Let me see yours!!!!
