High-Resolution Mosaic Not Generating or Not Compiling Properly

High-Resolution Mosaic Not Generating or Not Compiling Properly

Common Issues Encountered

Even if the activation process has already finished, you may experience the following when generating Build High-Res Mosaic:

• The high-resolution mosaic does not compile into a single image file
• The system only generates multiple tiled images instead of one final output
• The compilation process takes too long or appears stuck
• The final merged image cannot be viewed immediately

---

Where to Find the High-Res Mosaic Output

Once you generate Build High-Res Mosaic, the output files are automatically saved in this directory:

Local Disk (C:) → PhotoMosaicWall → Event → {Selected Event Folder}

Inside this folder, you will typically see:

• 4 separate image tiles (temporary output)
• These tiles are intended to be combined into one final high-resolution mosaic image

---

Possible Causes

1. Missing or Conflicting ImageMagick Installation

• Another version of ImageMagick or a conflicting “ImageMagick Display” software may already be installed on the system
• This can interrupt or slow down the image compilation process

2. Missing Pre-requisite Components

• Some required dependencies may not be installed properly
• In particular, ImageMagickDisplay must be correctly installed and functioning

3. Activation Status Not Fully Completed

• The system may still be processing background tasks even if the activation appears finished
• This can delay or block the final mosaic compilation

---

Situational Behavior (Normal Delay Case)

If the activation is already finished and the high-resolution mosaic is generated, but you notice that:

• It creates 4 separate image tiles
• The system is slowly combining them into one final image
• The final output is not immediately visible

This is usually normal behavior, especially in large activations.

Important Note:

• The larger the activation (more images / higher resolution), the longer the compilation process will take
• The system is working in the background to merge all tiles into one final high-resolution mosaic

Recommended Fixes and Workaround

1. Check Installed ImageMagick Applications

• Ensure there are no multiple or conflicting versions installed
• Remove or disable unnecessary ImageMagick-related software if detected

2. Verify Required Components

• Confirm that all prerequisites are installed correctly
• Pay special attention to ImageMagickDisplay, as it is essential for rendering and compilation

3. Restart and Proper Launch Sequence

If the high-res mosaic is not generating properly:

1. Close the software completely
2. Open ImageMagickDisplay first
3. Then reopen PhotoMosaicWall software
4. Start the activation again
5. Generate Build High-Res Mosaic while ImageMagickDisplay is running

This sequence helps ensure proper communication between processes and improves compilation speed.

Final Note

If the high-resolution mosaic still does not generate or compile correctly after following the steps above, it is recommended to:

• Restart the computer.
• Recheck installation dependencies
• Retry the generation process in a fresh session
