Default ?? How to make small pictures into one big picture.

Does anyone know what these pictures are called. Like if you have a bunch of pictures of flowers and you make a collage and when you step back all the little pics make a big flower?

Does anyone know a program that can create them?

Or an easy way to do them?

I found an example.

Hrm, that would take some time but I am sure it could be done in PS using color variations

There's a program that does it, and it's free. I'll have to see if I can remember the name of it.

Be aware that it takes a LOT of images to do it though. Most times people will plug their whole archive of images into the program. Don't expect to have 50 images of flowers and get a great end-result... it takes a lot (think a few thousand) because it can't use every image.

EDIT: Found it, see here.

Well I downloaded it.. it works pretty good. I have about 3000 pics in the folder that it uses. basicly you have to do it then stand back about 10 feet from your screen.. then it will sort of look like it should... still its pretty cool and its free..lol..
