Montage of 4512 Instagram selfie photos from selfiecity.net project. Original image is 24000 pixels wide. (Montage shows our larger image set before we did the final manual check - so few images are not true single selfies. Images from Tokyo which were not used in the final presentation are also included.)

We released new version of ImageMontage free visualization tool (ImageMontage v.2).
ImageMontage v.2 - Key Features:
- Create high resolution montages of large image collections. For example, you can visualize a collection of 40,000 images (assume each image is 100 x 100 pixels) in a single 20,000 x 20,000 pixel montage.
- The images can have different sizes and/or proportions - they will be scaled to the same height in the montage.
- The order of images in a montage can be controlled by a user. (Create a text file with a list of file names in a sigle column, and use as the input in Image Source" option.) In the examples above, one montage organizes a set Instagram photos by upload date/time; another organizes the same images by average hue. (The plugins which measure image characteristics are included with our ImagePlot plugin.)
- You can include all images in a single folder; all images within subfolders; or images located in different areas of your drive ("Image Source" option.)
- The new version allows you to create 1-level, 2-level, or 3-level montages. For example, you can organize your photos by year, month, and event. Or, you can montage images of van Gogh painting by city, year, and season. (See examples below).
