    But i want to see the tiny pictures clearly, the bigger picture must be only visible from a distance. Or else what's the point of collecting so many photos?? We can rather use small tiles or coloured papers.

  3. Sharmella Krishnasamy says

    Can we do this manually?? so that, we can add latest photo collections to the wall as new events keep cropping up in our life.

  4. Sharmella Krishnasamy says

    i like to create photo mosaic collage and have it on dining area wall.

  15. Coley Denisestark says

    Thanks for the tut. With mine, I used a dismap of my main pic, then used displace on the Mosaic pattern. Worked well.

  16. Regan Rider says

    Great tutorial! How do you avoid the file name showing at the bottom of all the images?

  17. Norwegian Vegan says

    How do you remove the white spaces in between all of the pictures?

  18. MarcMarioMaster says

    Is there a way to do this kinda thing arranging images by the colors used inside them? It surely sounds neat but would be of course more befitting if you use images that do simulate the pixel's colors inside the artwork. I know that seems a bit much but would be neat if you could categorize files that way and have the colors more or less untouched when you put them inside the overlay.

  20. Adam Phillips says

    Is there a way to do this with videos for the mosaic instead of photos?? Thank you for the tutorial!

  30. Heidi Falckh says

    whenever I press enter after selecting my folder, the pictures show up very small with their jpg file number underneath it. how can I fix this?

  31. barb baker says

    Hi, I am working on recreating this now but only 18 of the 100 images in the folder I want to use appear on the sheet. This has happened twice now and not sure what I am doing wrong! Any ideas appreciated! Thank you.

  32. Malia Z says

    HELP! I followed the instructions, but when I click ok, the sheets turn into a new background without dividing each photo into separate layers. Does anyone know why?

  33. dggd says

    Marty, you're a dream come true for an envisioned project I hold so dear! I appreciate this tutorial so very, very much! A ton of thanks to you!

  34. Jhon Rey Gallardo says

    Thank you

  35. Sushil G says

    Thx aton sir

  36. prem khan says

    Thank u so much

  37. barb baker says

    Can I ask a question? If I'm using a 100 photos for the mosaic, do I have to reduce the 'size' of each and if so to what? eg if they're all 2 Mb, should they be a smaller size? Or does that happen automatically as the mosaic is created? Very grateful for advice on this.

  38. barb baker says

    Thanks for this. Brilliant plus you just saved me £117 as I've been struggling to make a mosaic, saw a tutorial about doing it with Lightroom and thought maybe I had to use that to create it! Durrrrr! I feel confident I can do this with Ps now, thank you. Instructions so clear and concise. Don't suppose there are written instuctions too?!

  39. Lee Jong says

    Is there a reason why when I make my contact sheet its not exporting the images as separate layers with layer masks?

  40. Ahmed Khaled says

    Whats the name of the app pleaseeee someone answerrr

  41. Gavin Haughey says

    That's brilliant. Thank you. I've just made my son's 18th Birthday card with this technique. Looks great.
