January 14: Mosaic Photo Effect

[Dalis]

My photo mosaic:

For my first attempt I thought it would be smart using a lot!!! of photos. Well, from experience I can now tell you using a folder with 400 photos for creating a contact sheet is too much. LOL.
I tried again using all landscape photos (thanks @ArmyGrl ) and that worked out fine.

This was awesome, here's my attempt

Took me forever as I have an older version of photoshop that doesn't do the collage thing. Sorry, not my challenge

Now this was a challenge! I used Lightroom to turn my photos into squares. This mosaic has nearly 300 photos from my dd's England semester.

My mosaic collage is made up of 152 photos (8 columns x 19 rows -- just in case someone finds that useful) -- these photos are actually pictures of pretty much everything that left my house to curbside bulk trash, donations, or auction pickup before moving day arrived.

I finally finished! I made my photo collage from scratch (my software is too old) and I totally loved all the time spent looking at pictures of my guy when he was teeny tiny. I think I might even print the photo really big for his graduation party this summer!

@IntenseMagic I have PSE 2021. I've hardly used it, so this could be user error. When I follow the instruction to do file>automate, the Automation feature isn't highlighted. any thoughts? Thanks!

@IntenseMagic Awesome challenge! This really stretched me. I kept trying using your instructions but PSE is just not photoshop. Thanks to @Eyeore for the free tool hint. I did end up using this and crediting it in the gallery.
I had so much fun learning new things with this one. I had the exact picture in mind as soon as I read the challenge. And photos over the years of her playing that I knew I could use to make the mosaic. One thing I learned is that there's so much "white" in hockey! I had to continuously cull the photos I was using so that I at least had some color in there! In any event, I made it work, and here's the result!

Kayla gave some great tips for PSE here --> https://the-lilypad.com/forum/threads/january-14-mosaic-photo-effect.81589/page-2#post-1410077
Let me know if that helps or not

This was so much fun! Thank you! And I finished a book that I've been working on since May of 2012! This made the perfect cover for the book of these pictures for my Mom!

I'd always wondered what to do with these photos that I took at a museum, they weren't all great quality or of anything super important so this was an amazing way to still document the trip and use the photos in a way I never would have thought of myself so thanks for the challenge @IntenseMagic

Got it done! I ended up doing it manually on Artisan with repeating 20 photos, then overlaying it with 30% opacity. Thanks for the fun challenge - this was great!
