Seni Sulam dan Kreativitas - Panduan Membuat Mozaik dengan Photoshop
Step 5: Combine the Images
With the pattern ready, let’s open our main image in Photoshop. We want to add a layer on top and fill it with our newly created pattern. So go to Layer in the menu bar and hover over New Fill Layer, then choose Pattern from the flyout menu.
You’ll get a box where you can name the layer and press OK.
Press the little arrow next to the preview box to open your pattern options. Find the mosaic pattern you just created and select it.
You can resize the pattern by changing the percentage in the Scale box. If you want to set the mosaic pattern on an angle, you can do that with the Angle box. Click and drag the mosaic pattern on the image itself if you want to reposition it.
Once you’re satisfied with the size and position, press OK.
We need to change the blending mode of the mosaic layer so the main image can come through.
You’ll see a box near the top of the Layers panel that probably says Normal. Click on it to open the blending modes and hover over each for a live preview in the workspace. Different blending modes will work differently with each image, but Overlay will usually be a good choice.
Building a Mosaic Image in Photoshop
Photoshop’s layer system was designed for tasks like this. Adjusting the opacity of each layer before applying it to the final image is a must. A transparent image will help you line up the stars at the edges of each panel with each other.
Bring all of your image panels into a single laid photoshop file as layers. You may want to use a reference image of the final framing to use as a base layer at the bottom
You can adjust the opacity of each layer (see below) to 50% to align the stars of each panel up with each other. When all of the layers are properly aligned, you can set each layer back to 100% opacity.
The graphic above shows why capturing a healthy amount of overlap area is important. If there is a gap between image panels, you will need to go back out and photograph the missing areas.
Take advantage of the guidelines tool (View > New Guide Layout) in Photoshop to help align each panel together. In the example above, a full-color, processed image is shown. In reality, this stage should take place before any major processing tasks have taken place.
You may want to perform a simple stretch in PixInsight or Photoshop applied evenly to each panel before aligning the images. A mismatch in processing techniques between panels will result in an odd-looking image.
