PictureMedley

In musical terms, a medley combines a variety of melodies to form a new composition. When you listen to a musical medley, you hear and can recognize the individual melodies; and the overall composition has its own overall theme and presence.

In photographic terms, then, a medley combines a variety of photographs to form a new composite image. As with the musical medley, you can see and recognize the individual images within the Picture Medley, but the overall composite image captures a bigger concept than the individual images can capture on their own.

Medley images are also referred to as photographic mosaics, or photographic montages.

The software returns after a brief hiatus in which I've given it a facelift, a new name, fixed bugs, and added a couple of minor features. Here are a few highlights:

• New name and updated styling for the UI. Brought the help file up to date.


• Simplified including the Target image as a tile (new checkbox in step 2).


• HTML output now uses ImageMap.


• New option in the Customize menu to disable the "use tiles only once" feature.


• New "Frost" visual effect: the overall medley is tinted slightly with the colors of the target image, which helps to make the target image more visible especially when you don't have enough of the right colors in the image tiles.


• Fixed a few bugs, reduced memory footprint, improved performance.
