![]() ![]() ![]() If the mosaic pattern is showing up too loudly, we can make it less opaque, but toggling the opacity (available at the layers window). It looks pretty raw now, so we can do a few things to enhance it, but if you think it is perfect as it is, that’s fine too! Now that you have a layer over the final photo layer, we need to blend them, so choose the “Overlay” blending option. choose the pattern you defined in the previous step (check the name!).Name the pattern to save it into the patterns repository.Set it to be 9 columns by 9 rows (for 81 photos)Īgain, watch the magic happen after clicking on “OK”!.Set the width and height of the collage as 118px x 9 = 1062px (9 times the height of each sq number is gotten from when we resized it!).Go to File > Automate > Contact Sheet II.Somehow there were a lot of images that did not get resized and cropped properly, so we had to get rid of them… and since we wanted to get a square collage, we reduced the number of photos to 81! Just sit back, relax and sip on some tea 4. don’t have to worry about the other options, just click ok! □.choose the folder you want the cropped & resized photos to end up.choose the folder with all the original photos.make sure to choose the action you created just now!.File > Automate > Batch… automate > batch…” width=”1920″ height=”1080″> Save the photo anywhere, and then you can stop recording! □ĥ. Let the photo crop straight in the middle, so you don’t have to move the photo at all change to “bicubic sharper (best for reduction)”.(Note: After you press “Record”, everything you do in Photoshop will be recorded, so be very precise!) The steps gets a little more complicated/ cheem now, but trust me, if I can do it, you can too!ġ. Open the “Actions” tab, “create new action” and name it. We have 90+ photos to resize and crop, imagine if you have to do it one by one…!!! Thanks to technology, we can manipulate it to help us do the work hehehehe. Now that the photos are ready, time to open it in Photoshop! Hence, delete to make sure you have your photos all in the same orientation! We’ll show you what problems we’ve faced along the way.įirst problem we faced was to do with the orientation of the photos… basically we cannot have photos of both landscape and portrait orientation because of the batch processing, and we have mostly landscape photos. ![]() We started off with 100 stock photos, but because of some problems we ended up using only 81 of them. Also have the final photo you want to show ready! The first step would be to get all the photos (for the mosaic background) into one folder, then create another empty folder for the resized photos. (this tutorial was based on this Youtube video by Photo Effect) 1. Without further ado, let’s get into it! Let’s do it together! □ We have gotten a number of people asking about “photo mosaics” and “mosaic collages” recently, so today, the answer as to whether we can do it… YES, WE CAN! And so can you, after going through this article hehehe. You will receive a digital proof for your approval or request revisions before we print your artwork.Am a noob when it comes to software, but Photoshop is an amazing tool, from getting rid of pimples and scars, to many other cool functions… Everyone should learn to at least do something with this software! We highly suggest printing on metal for the best results. We can also print on other materials such as canvas and acrylic. The sports collage design is traditionally printed on a poster. You can get standard size frames cheaply at Hobby Lobby, Michael’s or most local art supply stores. We do not supply framing because of the issue with glass breaking in shipment. The mosaic technique works best when the main photo is zoomed in or does not have a lot of detail. Please specify which photo you choose for the main photo. We can also accept dropbox, google photos, and apple photos links. Use the free service at and use the email address as the recipient address. You can use one or hundreds of photos for this technique up to one thousand. From a distance your photo looks like a normal photo but the closer you get to the photo you start to see all of the full detail of individual photos that make up this awesome piece of artwork.Ī great gift idea! To order or get more information, go to: our shop's photo plaque section A photo mosaic is one photo made up of a series of individual photos.
