Mosaic Tiles
Mosaic art is an ancient design technique featuring an assembly of many tiny
colored tiles to form an image or a pattern. The shapes and sizes of the tiles may
vary as well as colors and surface texture, and often intricate detailed patterns can
be seen nested in the larger design. Use PhotoImpact's Mosaic Tiles effect to
transform your images to mosaic artwork.
To apply the Mosaic Tiles effect:
1. Select Effect: Artistic - Mosaic Tiles.
2. Select a Tile shape to use for the
effect. To choose from preset shapes,
select Texture then click the box next
to this option and choose a shape.
Note: To import and use a custom shape,
click the down arrow then select Add
Texture.
3. Set the Density. The higher the setting,
the less mortar (spaces) will be shown
between the tiles.
4. Set the dimensions of the tiles in
Length and Width. The greater the tile
size, the more abstract the result will
be.
5. Set the Displacement and Size
variation. Generally, the higher these
settings are, the greater the mosaic
tiling effect will be.
6. Set a Canvas color to fill the mortar
(spaces) between the tiles.
7. Click OK.
