But I will check it out now I know it's there!</p> Well Michael, the short answer would be that I didn’t know Picasa had a collage function :-) I use IrfanView constantly, but Picasa only comes out for major picture touch-ups — and since part of the aim of the exercise was not to do any retouching (other than resizing), it would have felt a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.

With Picasa 3 your freedom in defining the mosaic is even greater.</p> <p>By the way I like your end product !</p> <p>regards, Michael (from UpAbove)</p> Hi Angus,

why all the trouble to go through this exercise with Irfanview (a great program I use a lot) when you can create quickly ‘collages’ with Picasa – it’ll cost you a couple of clicks and you can ‘pump up’ your pictures a bit before it all happens. With Picasa 3 your freedom in defining the mosaic is even greater.

By the way I like your end product !

Didn’t know about the “Create Panorama” feature, might have to try that out! :)
