Ability to re-create and modify Mosaic from a group of sequence targets

Sequence Generator Feature Requests
1

I’d like to submit this request.

I am currently working on a 16-panel mosaic, which I have been doing so for two years (weather was bad last year), but once completed, I want to be able to add more panels. So maybe the Mosaic Wizard could import the Coordinates of the existing 16 panels in the sequence, and provide the ability to re-create / add additional panels.

Yes, this would be cool for sure. There is something available that holds the basis of what you are asking, but it is not a complete solution in the way you outline. In other words, implementing this feature would start building upon this existing feature.

Specifically, you can use any existing mosaic panel as the point of reference and MFW will load it and outline it with a blue rectangle. At this point, the intent is that you would draw atop it with the normal tooling and in a sense recreate it by ensuring that one of the red rectangles overlaps close to perfectly with the blue.

Thanks @Ken

The main problem with the current method, is that you can only add frames to the right or below, for example, I have loaded up my Column 1 Row 1 frame as the reference

Now my Mosaic is 4x4, so it looks like this:

But if I wanted to add say another column or two to the left, or a couple of rows above, I cannot do that without starting over and rotating the image in the Mosaic Settings.

And that really becomes a problem if I want to add frames above + right or below + left of the original frame :smiley:

It’s not that I doubt what you are saying, I just dont think I fully follow it. What is it that stops adding new panels above or left? What do you mean that you’d need to start over? Can you not just draw an extra one or two columns (or whatever) and drag them to the left of the “reference” panel?

@Ken Perhaps it’s my Metculous desire to have everything unform and correctly aligned that is making this harder than it is, yes I could drag the new boxes around the reference frame. And until you mentioned it, I never knew this was possible, so I will have a play with this.

At least if you import an already existing targets from a sequence, it can work out your overlap etc, let me see how I get on with the existing in a bit more detail. I might even write a blog post on this :smiley:
