For all those do-it-yourselfers out there, this is for you…
Originally before selecting a mosaic service to create my mosaic, I tried several different mosaic software programs, with not much success (read my intro for details). Recently, I again scoured the web and found 4 seemingly popular online mosaic creation sites that would create my mosaic right online – how cool! I loaded the same source and cell images into each tool along with similar settings for sizing and coloration. My results are summarized below. I hope you find this review helpful 🙂

|
- Not a great photo mosaic; too much lost detail
