Dear alanbhk-ga;

The types of pictures you are talking about are called a variety of
things depending on whom you ask. Some refer to them as photo tiled
pictures, photo tapestries, or photo montage pictures, but by and
large I think the vast majority of us know them as ?photo mosaics?:

Here?s one (a really neat one too, I might add) that is referred to as
a ?photo montage? simply because of that happens to be the name of the
software used to make it:

LINCOLN BY PHOTOMONTAGE1.0

There are probably many more such pictures however that are popularly
known as ?photomosaics?:

GOOGLE:  Photomosaic

PHOTOMOSAIC

No matter which name you choose, I think you?d still be relatively
accurate as well as understood.

Now finally, you?re looking for software, are you? You?re in luck,
there are several. Here is a list of some of them:

This week's issue of "Entertainment Weekly" (August 13, 2004) has a
photomosaic image of Julia Roberts on the cover. When you look
closely, you notice that the image is made up of hundreds of tiny
photos of other actors and actresses.
