This brings up a dialogue where you may select your own images that you want to use as a mosaic tiles. You may use images from iPhoto, Aperture or simply select a folder(s) with images.
Also, please see a short video on our site
http://www.mazaika.com/mac/
that shows how to make a library and mosaic.

No such problems with Mazaika. You get your money's worth with this one.

I like that you can use multiple libraries in on image by selecting sections, rendering, switching libraries, selecting a different section, and so on.
It could have a more "Mac-like" look to it, but apparently that is a work in progress. And the developer is helpful and quick to reply to questions - always a good sign. For me, the registration fee was money well spent.

I use Aperture but do have a few files in iPhoto but Masaika couldn't find anything at all.
the dev is friendly & responsive but says it will be some time before it will work for Aperture IF he decides to add that 'feature'
Sorry, you're absolutely right, Mazaika 1.0 don't supports Aperture as an image source.
As a temporary workaround you may export images that you want to use for mosaic into a separate folder at your hard disk and create a library with this folder as tile image source.

1) The ability to set correction levels.
Very useful if you are working with small libraries with not enough average image color variation to produce a great mosaic representation of a source image. The source image is essentially overlayed on top of the mosaic, altering the color of the mosaic pictures. You can set the level, but in my experience, even the most aggressive correction doesn't hurt the original images.
2) Set repeat levels
It's best to allow the software to intelligently choose images on it's own, but if you have a need to restrict the number of repeats in a mosaic, you can.
3) Statistics report
Allow you to output a table of the paths to each image in the mosaic and the X and Y coordinates of each of it's uses in the final image.
4) Create as many image libraries as you like
This is one of the killer features. Create specific libraries of images for specific purposes. You don't have to include pictures of the car restoration if you just want to create a mosaic of the kids for their grandparents. You can even create libraries from many sources without having to copy images to a central location before importing.
5) Export to TIFF or JPG to specific size (in px, cm or inches), DPI
6) No limits on tiles height/width ratios or tile size
7) Open and render in high resolution.

I could NOT get this to work. I created New Library from 278 iPhoto pictures shot by Nikon D40 JPEG. Library creates, no pictures show and unable to select Source.
Very disappointed and will try http://homepage.mac.com/knarf/MacOSaiX/

Posts like this render the review system unusable for its intended purpose. I find it annoying that instead of trouble-shooting or - even taking it a step further and asking for developer support - people post negative reviews before having even used the software.
Maybe DRMASH08 has some weird configuration that prevents Mazaika from running properly but my guess is it's user error. There is a slight learning curve, but for me Mazaika worked better than I expected.
