AndreaMosaic is freeware[1] graphic art software developed and published by Andrea Denzler and that specializes in the creation of photographic mosaic images.
History
The first public release was version 3.12 in 2003.
Features
AndreaMosaic includes several features[5][6] for creating mosaics.[1][7] Together with the standard parameters necessary to create a mosaic the following features are available:
- On-the-fly creation of image variants
- Automatic cropping of images to fit the tile aspect ratio
- Automatic color adjustment
- Prevention of close duplicates
- High-resolution mosaics (up to 100 gigapixel)
Versions
As of version 3.32[update] AndreaMosaic is available in Standard and Professional versions. Both share the same features but the Professional version exceeds the Standard version's limits of 200
License
The license allows free use of the software, including commercial use, but it requires that every published or printed photographic mosaic, or derivative work, includes a reference to AndreaMosaic. Also the publishing or display to a large audience of a particular mosaic should be added to the public list of artworks created with AndreaMosaic.
Artworks
Artworks was created worldwide using AndreaMosaic including
- a giant mosaic at the official Danish contribution to the 11th International Architecture Exhibition, Venice Biennale (credits)
- a mosaic in the short movie Fight for Beauty at the 52nd International Art Exhibition, Venice Biennale
Reception
Although the software has proved popular[9] and has some powerful features,[5] it has been criticised for not being user-friendly[5] with a confusing[1] and dull[8] interface featuring atrocious grammar[6] but providing an excellent user guide[6] and producing excellent results.[8]
