Photomosaic Artistry

Written by Paul Hood


Continued from page 1

William Hunt, considered as a photo mosaic guru presents these simple principles that are essential to creating good photo mosaics:

(1) The large image MUST look good without too much jaggedness or color distortion. To achieve this use more and smaller tiles, use duplicates, modifyrepparttar tile images or add another photo collection. (2) The small tile images should be sufficiently large to view comfortably inrepparttar 107265 renderings final form. If this is a display on a computer monitor or a 8x10 print, you will need to use as few tiles as possible and still satisfy rule(1). If it is a poster size printout you can get by with over a thousand tiles. (3) If duplicate use ofrepparttar 107266 small tiles is needed, they must not be placed near to each other. (4) Ifrepparttar 107267 small tile images need to be modified to achieve 1-3, it should be as little as possible. (5) The target image andrepparttar 107268 small tile pictures should as much as possible have some coherent theme or connection.

3D EFFECT IN PHOTOSHOP

Written by Maricon Williams


Continued from page 1

If you want to preview your work, use viewing options like pan camera. There is alsorepparttar trackball that is used to moverepparttar 107264 3D render around from different angles.

Forrepparttar 107265 3D shapes, create firstrepparttar 107266 new layer. Fill it with color. Onrepparttar 107267 3D shapes layer, create some drop shadows or darker shades of color fills. And because 3D transform only distortsrepparttar 107268 pixels, you might need these fills to seerepparttar 107269 effect.

If you want to create 3D effects on your text, userepparttar 107270 different transform functions. You can userepparttar 107271 shortcut key Alt + E/F and then hold down Ctrl as you drag any ofrepparttar 107272 handles to any desired direction.

Before you add filters or layers effect, you might want to rasterize your text layer. To do this, right click onrepparttar 107273 layer inrepparttar 107274 layers palette. Then, choose Rasterize Layer. You will notice that your text will be converted into a normal layer so that you can freely edit it. Create a backup copy because you cannot editrepparttar 107275 text after rasterization.

Experiment on images. There are a lot of ways in which you can create 3D shapes, objects and text.
