Love learning new things in Photoshop - thanks for a great challenge!!

This is the photo I used:

Hope this is ok. I was scared when I read this. But the steps were very easy to follow. I used the picture below, and sniped one side of it.

Fun technique. The hardest part was figuring out which photo I liked best as the mosaic, tried about 5 of them...



Here is the original photo:

Thanks for the fun and interesting challlenge, Jenn! Here's my page...



Here's the photo I used (I also extracted part of the photo to overlay on the mosaic.)

I was a bit intimidated after seeing how many gorgeous layouts are already posted, but I am happy with my results. Thanks for a very nice challenge!

Great challenge, love something new and different... really helped me scrap these pages as I didn't have a kid's art kit



Submitting this one for the challenge:


I cropped this image to use just her painting for the mosaic:

I wanted those smooth, blendy edges, so I just gave up and downloaded Photoshop.

Which, probably not a wise move because oh man I finally get why so many people swear by it. I have a feeling I'm going to be bummed when the trial period is over. Boo.

and um, some of us, well me anyway, swear AT it, lol. Enjoy! I used to use Gimp. Tried PS CC, rarely used it the first year, even letting my subscription drop. I got determined, took lots of lessons/tutorials, renewed it and haven't looked back.

I used the photo of my son as an astronaut (main photo) as my mosaic photo background. My old program did not make the mosaic very blurry ( it was a very sharp mosaic pattern) so I had to blur it.

Thanks for the tutorial and the fun challenge!

Here is mine, cool technique, I think I might like to play with it some more, but not enough time. Maybe a torn edge on the mosaic, maybe increasing the soft light layer to make it a little softer, maybe smaller geometric.



And the original photo (similar to the inset, but a little different)

I Don't Have Photoshop...I Tried Some Similar Effects To My Chosen Photo...Here Is The Result...Would This Be Acceptable?...

Looks like a mosaic to me, RJMJ, so scrap away! Don't forget to add your original image when adding your layout!

Here's my original photo (also the same one in the layout).


Here's my layout:


This is such a cool technique, but like @tinkerbell1112 said, I was disappointed that these are the max size of the mosaic pieces that you can do in Artisan. I also used the mosaic on the background paper at a very small setting.

This is a fun challenge! Thanks!

 

[disneysheryl65]

I agree with @tinkerbell1112 - Artisan needs more options for this technique. Might play around with it more another time. I am pretty happy with the result. I love the ones here with bigger tiles!
