Will do, so long as I can figure out how to save the image. Not sure how good it will look, but hopefully it will at least be recognisable .

That's pretty cool software then, plus your drawing is really good too. That's way better than I could ever draw.

I can cope with computer art - that's just changing some settings and clicking buttons, so I understand that from a maths point of view rather than an art one

I certainly couldn't draw anything and neither could I put together my own photo mosaic.

I did read about one last night that Disney did for 50 years of Disneyland. It was a photomosaic of Steamboat Willy which was made up of pictures of CM. However, each of those pictures of CMs was actually a photomosaic made up of pictures taken by guests.

Hey guys I'm back again!

Wow loads of great stuff to look at!! They are absolutely brilliant!!...I see a colour selected photo popped up there..wow I went through a phase of colour selecting every photo I had, in fact my downstairs bathroom is covered it the kids doing walks, beaches etc and I framed them up in black frames (not the 80s style ones ) and it looks really cool IMO!! In fact the frames were again from poundstrechers they do different size black frames with a cream mount from £1.50 to £3 .... its gorgeous with a group of photos on one wall in black n white with a wee bit of colour selecting if need be!

I also loved the pooh bear collection drawing, now thats talent!

Just to keep you up to date with my mosiacs I have scrapped the mickey one I did for fiona which I uploaded a couple of pages back or so, I re did it and it looks better now, I have also done her a 'cars' one for the boys bedroom, she really loves that one and she's asked me to try a princess one for her lass!..

so alls good here in sunny Scotland!!

What, sun in Scotland?! Step-dad is working up in Prestwick Monday - Friday and we usually get told it's rained

The cars mosaic sounds cool. I think I might have a go at printing one and see how it comes out at some point. Just an A4 size one mind you.

A4 is apparently 8.27 by 11.69 inches, so 8x10 isn't far off.

Virtual Memory low

In a nutshell, your computer creates little notes that it needs to remember and stores them inside it's memory. When the computer does lots of thinking, it's memory becomes rather full and it has to move some of its notes into a second place, called virtual memory.

When the computer does LOTS of thinking (like when you build a mosaic), even the virtual memory starts to get full, which shows you that message.

There's a setting you can change if needed, or you could restart the computer which can also help because it empties both the real memory and the virtual memory.

Artwork

I had a look at the one I produced using only unique images from Flickr and it didn't look very good at all, so I deleted it. I've just started another one (also from Flickr) which does allow duplicate pictures, which seems to look much better (I can watch the mosaic being built on the mac which is quite cool, although I have no idea how long it may take which is not cool).

As the weather's clear where I am tonight, I might take my telescope and camera out and have a play in a minute, so I'll post the picture here if anybody's interested?
