The latest version of Mosaizer Pro has been released. You can download a copy from the download page or click here.

What is Mosaizer Pro?
Mosaizer Pro is a photo mosaic creator with and extensive set of exclusive tools to create great photo-art painting effects.
What can you do with Mosaizer Pro?
You can create photo art. Mosaizer Pro is an extensive set of bitmap editing tools such as patterns, colored patches,
masks and filters and it basically use a large number of pictures to work with. And yes, you can of course make photo mosaic
From a distance: the full picture and at close-up individual the sub-pictures can been distinguished pictures.
Who uses Mosaizer Pro?
Anyone can use Mosaizer Pro. Although it's a professional DTP tool, creativity is not an exclusive domain for professionals.
Is Mosaizer Pro unique in its kind?
Not entirely. Many photo mosaic creation and bitmap editing software is available, but Mosaizer Pro adds some unique features you can hardly achieve with existing bitmap editors.
Characteristics of Mosaizer Pro
A photo mosaic is a picture which is built from hundreds or thousands of small pictures.
Each of these smaller pictures has a certain color impression, and when looking from a distance the original source picture is recognised.
If looking from close-up, the individual pictures can be seen.
With Mosaizer Pro you can make such photo mosaic pictures. But Mosaizer Pro can do much more that just that. The key features are:
Mona Lisa was rebuilt from pieces of her own bitmap)
With transparent bitmaps the boundaries between sub-pictures can be manipulated and masks to create invisible boundaries between sub-pictures and allow for smooth picture overlaps
John Lennon was made from just one picture where practically only lightness is varied picture
Every sub-picture in this Robert Bateman drawing has a black boundary of the photo mosaic
Ziyi Zhang's beauty cannot be undone by a spiralled pattern special effect
A painting should have a canvas background look
Some examples from Mosaizer Pro
Examples of the key features are shown on the right.
From top to bottom: the use of the 'mosaizer' tool with the madonna of Edvard Munch
The original and mosaized pictures were merged;
using an alpha mask for a photo-mosaic
Smooth transitions between sub-cells with masks to create transparency on the edges of each sub-picture;
photo-realistic euro's
Only masks are used - and bit filtering with use of an alpha mask and a source-mask;
and the use of a 32-bit alpha mask
No real photo-mosaic, but 3D-'art' with 32-bit masks in combination with a shadow effect.
Other features of Mosaizer Pro
This overlay creates a partially transparent watermark effect, 32-bit masks and patterns
From left to right the chosen library matches better with the source color palette function to quickly assess the color matching capabilities of a certain set of pictures
What's new with Mosaizer Pro?
With Mosaizer Pro a new level of photo mosaic creation versatility has been achieved. A major addition in Mosaizer Pro is the application of a Genuine Paintbrush
The paintbrush behaves like a realtime pencil and eraser tool.
This paintbrush literally paints with pictures. The result of any photo-mosaic picture can be repainted (or painted from scratch) by using the mouse or any other pointer device.
All effects (masks, filters, random settings, etc.) are applied in the paintbrush feature. Even more, any desired change in effect can be applied in the same drawing.
The painting takes place real-time (depends on the speed of the CPU) and wrongly drawn lines can easily be erased and redrawn later.
Another great feature is the brush mask. With such a mask any picture can be turned into a photorealistic painting
Brush masks are randomly rotated and resized. Each stroke of a brush can be set for its rotation and size to add to the impression of a real Van Gogh.
Textaizer Pro: the other key application from APP Helmond
APP Helmond has developed another application, called Textaizer Pro. This application creates pictures from text, a method that is usually referred to as 'Text Mosaics'
From a distance Shakira is recognised, but at close-up the text can be read.
Textaizer Pro can also create text from pictures. This is widely known as 'ASCII Art'
ASCII art is widely used as an e-mail stationary.
On the web there are many programs that can make ASCII art, Textaizer Pro however combines both text mosaic creation and ASCII art.
Textaizer Pro also offers a unique possibility to make video clips from text mosaic frames, directly taken from video footage.
The key features of Textaizer Pro are:
Every picture tells a story
Both Mosaizer Pro and Textaizer Pro use this expression very literally. With Mosaizer Pro a picture consists of 1000's of smaller pictures. If these pictures follow a theme, a story can be told (or discovered).
With Textaizer Pro the picture is built from text. When large fonts are used and sufficient distance between each line is taken, the reader can easily discover the story in the picture.
