Is there somehow possible to limit the number of photos to be used.
I have around 1000 photos, and then I make the mosaic it seems a little bit unclear.I have tried and play with the settings, but did not succeed.
Hi! Yesterday we released the new version of ZaBa Photo Mosaic and ZaBa Photo Mosaic Lite.
I think this is good to solve your problem: the new versions have the "fast" modality (search it in "Advanced Setting") that uses only 300 photos, allowing repetitions near one to each other (the same picture can be used as tessera in near locations).
More in general, if the photos are in different Albums, you can select only some Album in the "Select Album" section, to limit the number of photos used.
If they are all in one album, the are two possible solutions:
The first consists in creating a new album in the Android Gallery, adding to it only a limited amount of photos and than you select only this new album in "Select Album" when you create a new mosaic.
The second solution is to change Advanced Setting in this way: Number of Thumbnails Repetitions: 50, Distance between repetitions: 1. This setting probably will limit the number of photos used, since allowing ah high repetition rate, a certain color will be rendered always with the more similar picture. The number of repetitions should be higher than 50, but with more than 1000 photos maybe it would become to memory consuming..
In any case, you are right, it could be useful a parameter to limit the number of photos used, thank you for the suggestion!!
I hope this answer will help you!
I also would like to add that the new Lite version can create the preview of mosaics in High and Very High quality, so that you can test them without having to buy the App!
