How Mazaika works:
Every region of the source image is replaced with some image from a collection, that most closely resembles the original image. When searching for an appropriate image Mazaika considers not only the overall color of the source image part but also takes into account the inner color and the brightness distribution within.
The more pictures in your collection - the more accurate the match. The more different colors and brightnesses in the pictures in the collection - the more accurate the match. In the gallery section you can see some source pictures rendered with different collections.

System requirements:
Mazaika runs on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/ Vista
Minimum system requirements:
P133, 32 RAM, 10 Mb on HDD (not taking into account pictures and picture databases)
Rendering of 1000 tile picture with a 5000 picture collection usually takes less then one minute (depending on system performance, RAM installed, quality and quantity of pictures)
For Mac users: Mazaika can run on a Mac with "Virtual PC"
(Windows 2000 Professional) from Connectix (tested).
For Linux users: Mazaika was tested to work with Linux through Crossover (WINE)

Notes:
* Very big images (bigger than 25,000x25,000) could be rendered in two or more parts
** Full version can make high resolution renderings of files saved in the lite version.
*** All parameters (price including) could be changed.

Perfomance tests:
Maximum tested libray included 500,000 (i.e. half of million!) photos.
Maximum tested single output *.bmp image was 37,000 x 36,000 pixels;
(file size about 3.84 Gb.)
Maximum tested mosaic size in tiles was 800 x 600 i.e. 800 tiles width
and 600 tiles height, or 480,000 cells.
