鑲嵌文件擴展名關聯到由弗蘭克M.米奇利開發的數據文件格式。貼有此擴展名的文件也被稱為蘋果OSaiX馬賽克文件。這些文件可以與Mac OSaix軟件,這是一個程序,允許用戶創建從谷歌,字形的Flickr,iPhoto或什QuickTime電影生成的圖像數以十萬計的馬賽克項目被創建。本軟件是一款免費的Mac應用,幫助用戶開發高解析度的馬賽克項目。使用該軟件,用戶識別的圖像圖案的鑲嵌項目,並調整所選擇的圖像文件的設置。設置包括數量,形狀和瓷磚或內容片段。一個完整的圖像顯示也顯示為所需的馬賽克項目的預覽。接下來,用戶需要選擇圖像源,然後單擊“保存”來指示的Mac Osaix軟件來存儲拼接工程的馬賽克項目的輸出文件。一旦完成後,用戶可以在拼接工程文件導出為TIFF,PNG或JPEG格式。這些馬賽克文件可以使用MacOSaiX應用程序在Mac OS X系統中打開。
Apple's MacOSaiX is a free desktop application that generates mosaic art using photos found on the Web or from a folder in the computer. The software connects to Flickr, iTunes, Delicious, and Google Image Search to find pictures, artwork, and illustrations that match the shade or color of the tiles. MacOSaiX also extracts screen captures from QuickTime movies and random images created from Glyphs or fonts in the computer. A high-resolution mosaic is produced when the application increases the number of tiles per inch to recreate the master image. The program follows a search- and-compare process that loops around until it finds the right images to use. Assembly of the mosaic is easy once an image archive is created for it. Some images may be repeated while others appear after the brightness and contrast settings have been tweaked. Mosaics created by the application are saved as JPEGG, TIFF, and PNG files.
