mosaic grids

The mosaic files offer a selection

of different styles. They are all

sized to A4 for convenient

printing; if you want to make

an A3 print, simply open the

template and go to Image >

Image Size, where you can

specify a new Height and Width.

image-editing skills.

f you want to get arty with your images,

this technique will provide you with the

opportunity to really fill your boots!

It starts by segmenting a picture into

a mosaic of tiles using one of the

provided templates, then allows you to hand-paint

colour washes onto the tiles in any way you wish,

changing the character of the image as you go.

You can further customise the effect by changing

the perimeter to add a boost in contrast and colour,

and even remove the grid in specific places to allow

the subject of your picture to float proud of it.

This technique works with a large array of shot types

and styles, but when you’re choosing an image, the best

results tend to come from relatively simple shots that

have a distinct subject and an uncluttered background.
