This large (FREE) goodie is such a fun way to give your photos and other images a Mosaic look and feel. AutoFX has had great plugins for years, and this free offering is a great way to introduce you to their line of goodies.
 This FREE plugin will work with Photoshop as well as Paint Shop Pro, or any other image editor that can use Photoshop type plugins. It will also work all by itself, so if you don't have Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, you can still enjoy creating beautiful mosaics.
AutoFX Mosaic is an 8.4 Mb download. The installation file contains the stand alone version of DreamSuite Mosaic, the plugin to make it work with Photoshop or other image programs that can use Photoshop plugins, a LOT of professional presets to fiddl with, and a very easy to follow PDF manual. It will require a serial number to activate. When you download the software, be sure to enter your email address in the same download area so they can send you a serial number. You can be very comfortable sharing your email address with the AutoFx folks. They won't be sharing your email address with anyone and you won't be receiving any spam from them. If you become addicted to Mosaic, you will LOVE the occasional email from the DreamSuite folks.
 Installing the program is as easy as clicking the installation file you downloaded and following the very simple instructions. When you are finished installing, be sure to delete the file you downloaded, or put it away wherever you save other installtion files. You won't need it any more.
To use Mosaic by itself, open the program and click the File button at the top left to open a favorite photo. Choose from quite a few presets by clicking Select Preset. Then tweak and tune to your heart's content. Choose different tile shapes by clicking the Tile Type button and you will see quite a few other tweaking options available in the tool area on the left. When you are satisfied with your final product, go ahead and save it by clicking the  File button, then the word Save. Mosaic will offer to save your file with a different file name (and somewhere else) so your original will be left unaltered. There are several different file formats you can save your little treasure as. .jpg is a good one if you want to use your Mosaic as desktop wallpaper.
So... Get out there, visit the AutoFX website, practice your downloading (and cleaning up after yourself), install this little GEM and have FUN!
