It's been a few years since I last thought about this program. Still looks like it would be too convoluted to run, but thought it would be of interest to some folk here.

Video from : vimeo.com

Neat stuff Lyle. I am not too much into command type programs though. I like much better to have an interface to work with. It's a neat idea though. I wonder if the images composed are public domain?

Very interesting but seems very complicated.

The demo video didn't mention anything about how the program identifies and credits the original image owners. I checked the web site and didn't find that information either.

Don't have an answer to that Odin. Still, if you have an open public domain library, it would be a cool program to have if it was a bit more user friendly. I wonder if it could be implemented in G'MIC. G'MIC can access the internet for updates via Curl.exe. Maybe it could use Curl.exe to retrieve image database images. I'm just brainstorming.
