Otto’s Metapixel
Metapixel is an application I wrote for creating photomosaics. It’s Free Software and if you run Ubuntu or Debian all you have to do to install it is type “apt-get install metapixel“, so give it a try!
A few days ago I got an email from the Hamburg, Germany based software development house freiheit.com that they’ve written a server application around Metapixel for a web-based photomosaic-creation application for the German company Otto Versand. You can upload your photo and it’ll build a mosaic out of photos of stuff you can buy there - pretty neat. There’s also a few mosaics of minor celebrities which you can browse and inspect in detail.
By the way: freiheit.com is looking for competent software developers willing to work in Hamburg!

Hey, I just started to use Ubuntu and gave it a try.
Here’s a mosaic photo I created with your tool:

Impressive. I will figure out how to make a mosaic look
more cool.
Oh, it was a photo from Japan Juggling Festival last week,
by the way. It was a total blast.

Thank you for the info sharing. I’ve read about this from other people’s review & most of people give a positive feedbacks. I’ve seen a lot of people used it and the mosaic image looks very impressive especially if you printed it out at a poster size.
