  Fast-paced photo montage (13,000 photos in 9 minutes)
 
I've been taking a lot of photos of LEGO people and their creations over the past 18 months, and right after I got back from NWBrickCon 2003, I thought it would be fun to see what all those photos looked like in an ultra-fast chronological photo (...)

Todd, Out of curiosity, what (if any) software do you use to manage all your photos? I have Adobe Album 2.0 on my XP box. I'm satisfied with it. But I'm still not sure if it is up to snuff for managing the 10,000 + photos I have taken of my family. (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

Great! What software did you use for the montage? I've been looking to do a clip from pictures too, not anything like that, but still the same process. My webcam doesn't offer good enough quility images... Thx Terry (20 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Todd- Can you (or someone else) suggest an application to view the montage at a slower rate (like 1 fps)? I'd like to set up the montage at a show for visitors to see. -Ted (20 years ago, 1-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
