![]() The smaller you make the cells, the easier it will be to create the target source image – to drive home this concept, simply imagine making the cell photos so small that they were the size of a single pixel, ie, making the mosaic simply a pixelated photo. Ultra tiny photo tiles/cells: Although this may or may not be considered “cheating” it can definitely detract from the overall mosaic experience and wow factor.For examples of this superimposing & over-colorization, please see the mosaics below or visit the side-by-side comparison page. Another similar unfortunate method is over-colorization this is where cell photos are colorized to the point where they are so faded they are difficult to see. This creates a mosaic that looks like a double exposure, which unfortunately makes the cell photos difficult to see (and to be honest is a cheap Photoshop effect). Superimposing & Over-colorization: This “cheating” method is where the target source is placed (or ghosted) on top of the so called “photo mosaic”.To correct these short falls, some software applications and services “cheat” or create fake mosaics by using one of the two unfortunate methods below. However I have found that much can go wrong in this effort if the colors and shapes of the photo tiles/cells are not analyzed correctly. I am making the assumption that if you are reading this you have seen a few photo mosaics (in person, on the web, or on TV) and that you know that a photo mosaic is a group of photos (photo tiles or cells) arranged in a certain way to assemble another larger image. If you are new to photo mosaics or just simply enjoy looking at them then this article is for you…
