Today we released our first public offering, AutoCollage. In a nutshell, AutoCollage lets you select a folder containing images, and creates a collage synthesized from interesting bits of some of the pictures in that folder. You can see examples of collages &lt;A class="" href="http://research.microsoft.com/AutoCollage/press/Gallery.aspx" target=_blank mce_href="http://research.microsoft.com/AutoCollage/press/Gallery.aspx"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;, they're pretty cool IMO. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can &lt;A class="" href="http://research.microsoft.com/AutoCollage/Download.aspx" target=_blank mce_href="http://research.microsoft.com/AutoCollage/Download.aspx"&gt;download AutoCollage&lt;/A&gt; and try it for thirty days free. If you like it, you can buy it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;AutoCollage works best on Vista, but you can use it on Windows XP SP2 and later, as long as you've got the .NET framework 3.0 or later installed. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;AutoCollage is based on a lot of &lt;A class="" href="http://research.microsoft.com/vision/cambridge/i3l/AutoCollage/default.htm" target=_blank mce_href="http://research.microsoft.com/vision/cambridge/i3l/AutoCollage/default.htm"&gt;cool research technology from Microsoft&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;A class="" href="http://research.microsoft.com/~carrot/" target=_blank mce_href="http://research.microsoft.com/~carrot/"&gt;Carsten Rother&lt;/A&gt; developed the primary AutoCollage algorithm, incorporating research from Microsoft Research Asia, Redmond, and Cambridge. It's truly a global effort :)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope you enjoy it!&lt;/P&gt;
