|
| We can create cool Photo Mosaics effects. A Photo Mosaics is a group of small pictures (Tiles) arranged in such a way to create a larger picture(source). We create your Photo Mosaic by using pictures that you provide (tiles and source), or pictures from our database, your choice.
Below are the steps required to place an order:
- Upload your source image and select "Photo Mosaics" effect and continue to checkout to finish your print order.
- Submit the Tile photos (Minimum 500 pictures) through our FTP service, onlin efile storage sites like dropbox.com or on a DVD once you received the order details. Tile images do not need to be hi-res, anything above 100KByte works perfect.
- We will send you a digital proof before we print your order.
Please note:
We may alter the source photo or tile photos, adjust contrast and brightness, and apply certain digital filters.
We would recommend ordering a minimum 36x24" print size considering the Canvas texture and quantity of the Tile photos.

Q1 : What is the source in a photo Mosaic?
The source is a single image that will be used to map the many cells or tiles in order to create a Photo Mosaic.
Q2 : What are cells/tiles?
Cells or tiles are the many pictures that make up the source picture. Send only jpg images, we would recommend small size images under 300 pixel for height or width. You can download and re-size files using following free software: http://www.irfanview.com/
Q3 : How do I send my pictures?
You can send through FTP, mail on a DVD or use online storage services like dropbox.com, we do not recommend sending 100s of images by email.
Please make sure all photos are cropped properly, orientation is correct and you have verity of different colors and style in your images.
Q4 : How many photos do I need for a Photo Mosaic image effect?
The more the better, minimum is 300 photos. To create the Picture Mosaic, the total cell count will range from 500 to 2000, depending on the size you choose, cells may be repeated to fill the Picture Mosaic.
Q5 : What file format do you accept for the tile images?
We accept only jpg files for the tile images, we would recommend small size files under 1 MByte if you can re-size them. Please do not send super large Tiff files as each individual cell will be tiny once the mosaic file is created.
Q6 : What will be the final size of any cell or tile after print?
It depends on the number of images and the final print size, for example if you provide 320 photos and ask for 20x16 inch print size, each individual square cell size will be 1x1". The 20x16" print will have 20 rows and 16 column or 320 cell images.
Q7 : How long ordering a photo mosaic print takes?
Once we received the tile images it takes 2-3 business days to send you the first proof / design by email if this is not a rush order.
Q8 : How do I place an order for PhotoMosaics?
Just upload the source image online, select final print product like canvas gallery wraps, plaques or fine art print and for optional effect select Photo Mosaic effect, and continue to checkout, once we received the order details we will send you the instructions of sending the cell or tile images. Once we have all cell images you will receive the design before printing by email to be reviewed.
Q9 : I don't have 1000s of tile images, what are my options?
If you have a main image but don't have 1000s of tiles images, we can help!. We have following collections of image:
- Flowers, 1000 of color images of flowers and nature
- Classic art paintings, around 2500 classical paintings from Van Goog, Monet and so on.
- 10 small black color circles from small to large
- 1000s of small color circles from small to large
- 10 small red color heart shape from small to large
- Alphabet based small images with different sizes and fonts
We can create a photo mosaic using your main image and our collection of photos.
You may also create new images by cropping the interesting subjects of a given image and save them as new files. For example if you have a family photo with five faces, you can crop and create new images for each face or if you have a scenery image with many flowers in it, you may crop and save the nice closeup flowers or sections, this will increase the number of tile images.
Q10 : What if I want to print a company logo or quote onto the mosaic?
The logo or quote will be added onto the mosaic after it has been created. It will not blend in with the image cells. You can make a note of it in the order form when making your order.
Q11 : Which orientation of tiles do you suggest for photo mosaic?
Both portrait and landscape works for the mosaic effect, in most cases there is no need for photo editing if they are from a recent digital camera or nicely scanned.
