![]() On the far right you’ll see a set of options that allow you to set the crop justification for each tile in the mosaic (which is preset to the middle) or choose to stretch photos to fill the tiles. Place a checkmark next to the album named Mosaic (and any other albums you want to include) or, if you’re an Aperture or Lightroom user, click Add Folder and choose the folder containing your exported photos. A panel will slide into view, letting you choose one or more albums in iPhoto. You’ll notice that the interface is not that intuitive, but the process of creating a mosaic is actually rather simple. Making your mosaic Once you’ve readied your photos, open Mazaika. Note that Mazaika doesn’t require full-resolution images to make a mosaic, so feel free to downsize the photos to a maximum of 800 pixels in either dimension in order to conserve disk space. If you use Aperture or Lightroom, you’ll need to export the photos to a folder on your desktop. Now fill up that album with any photos related to your source photo for example, a mosaic of your dog should probably contain images of you and your family playing with the dog (and not the time Uncle Marty had a bit too much to drink and ruined Christmas). Open iPhoto, choose File -> New Album, name the album “Mosaic,” and click Create. Sort your photos A photo mosaic works best with hundreds (even thousands) of photos, so your next task is to round up the photos you’d like to use. If you can still recognize what you’re seeing, the photo is suitable as a source image.) Once you’ve found the photo you’d like to use, save it to your desktop. (Not sure if the photo you want to use will work? Display the photo full screen, step back from the computer about 15 feet, and squint your eyes. Avoid busy photos with a lot of people, because they will likely be unrecognizable when made into a mosaic. It’s best to choose something simple and easy to recognize, such a portrait of person with a minimal background. ![]() We're planning on an early departure tomorrow morning when we hope the skies will have cleared and the sun will shine on our descent.Select a source image The source image is the photo on which the mosaic is based. Later, as the now normal afternoon snow storm continues to dump snow at Muir here, we're passing the afternoon and evening talking about mountains, climbing and the tall tales that take root in such firmament. While a handful of folks opted to descend to the comforts of life at sea level, the rest of us explored the upper mountain as much as we could and had a great day enjoying the glaciers and crevasses of Mt Rainier. While disappointed, the team was understanding and in full agreement that getting down safe and sound was our priority. That, coupled with some not insignificant avalanche hazard from a couple of unexpected evening snow storms has forced us to temper our ambitions for the summit this go around. Unfortunately, today we received some bad news when the guides kicking in the route discovered a crevasse preventing forward progress up to the higher reaches of the mountain. But we all persevered and made it to Camp Muir doing well. At times it was almost too hot as the sun's radiation backed. ![]() After a productive and fun day at our climbing school on Saturday we were excited about the perfect day we had yesterday for our hike up to Camp Muir. ![]()
