Image Mosaic Software?

arcSoft’s Photomontage – though I think there’s a limit on the number of photos you can use…

Hi there,

I’d like to have a go at creating one of those image mosaics – like the

Star

Wars posters you can buy from HMV, where they have a main image, and when you look closely, this main image is made up from hundreds of smaller images. I’ve got an image library of about 5,000 digital images, so this part shouldn’t be a problem.

My query is which software is best for the job? I did a quick Google

search

and came up with quite a few pieces of software, but would rather cut to

the

chase and work from a recommendation that others in this group might have had good results from?

Or alternatively, is there a plug-in for Photoshop 7 that will do this?
Thanks for any help,

Ste
