*Graphical tool to make photo collage posters*
PhotoCollage allows you to create photo collage posters. It assembles the input
photographs it is given to generate a big poster. Photos are automatically
arranged to fill the whole poster, then you can change the final layout,
dimensions, border or swap photos in the generated grid. Eventually the final
poster image can be saved in any size.
The algorithm generates random layouts that place photos while taking advantage
of all free space. It tries to fill all space while keeping each photo as
large as possible.
PhotoCollage does more or less the same as many commercial websites do, but
for free and with open-source code.
