Are you thinking about what gift to make your friends or loved ones, or do you want to add something original to decorating the interior of your home? The photo mosaic will serve as an excellent solution in such situations, it will remind you of the happy moments of your life, besides, it will revive any wall. So what is a photo mosaic?
A photo mosaic is an image that consists of hundreds of small photographs, which together make up one whole image.
In order to compose a successful photo mosaic, photographs are selected that match each other in color and tone to create a complete image.
To get a simple photo mosaic, you will need 200 photos and 1 large, clear base image, for which the elements will be matched. Still, the optimal number of photos is from 1000 or even 2000 photos. It should be borne in mind that the more photos you select, the less repetitions you will find in the overall photographic picture.
The most popular size of small photocells in the finished photo mosaic is from 1, 5 to 3 cm, when you can see each photocell without significant distortion.
The size of the finished photo canvas can be completely different: from small (30x40 cm) to very impressive (3x1, 5 m).
It is not difficult to make a photographic picture. Now on the Internet you can find a fairly large number of companies that will make it for you to order. On request, the printed canvas is sent by mail or courier. Usually it takes several days to manufacture from the date of order.
But there is also a more economical option - to come up with an idea and implement it yourself using a variety of useful programs (for example, Mosaic creator). You can print a finished photograph both at home and in printing houses. This is usually large format printing on photo paper or canvas in photo quality.
You should know that if you use special programs, the waiting time for generating the final photo can be from 10 to 30 minutes, with the final file weighing up to 1 GB or more.
Here are some more tips:
- the clearer the photographs are for photocells, the better the overall picture will be;
- the more photocells, the less "color noise" will be in the photo image, which distorts the overall image;
- Reducing the size of the photocells to 0.5 cm can also help to reduce the "color noise";
- if there are not enough photos, you can use photos from other sources of similar subjects;
- it is better for basic photography to choose a clear image without a background.
