Step-by-step: Create new library
  


Step-by-step: How to Create new library:

1 - Run the program.
2 - Menu File - New library...
3 - Choose a library name. When you press on button with <...> - you'll get a Save as dialogue where you had to type a name of the new library.
4 - Select a library root directory, folder (with subfolders) where you're keeping your tile images.
5 - Check on image types you want to use (default: *.jpg files).
6 - Set the thumbnail width and quality. (For a first time these and other controls as they are).
7 - Press Scan images button and wait while the program indexed all your images.
8 - Library is created, press Close button.

Now you're ready to make Mosaic (See Next Step).

Note 1:
As you hit the Scan images button the program will begin to build a picture database. As it builds the database, the previous picture added will show up (sort of like a preview). When it stops cycling pictures, the database is created.

Note 2:
This process can be slow if your pictures are large. The Program opens every file and runs calculations on values regarding color lightness and the shape of the picture.

Note 3:
You had to run this process only once. After the Library is built, you can use it as many times as you need.
