Name one 'Original Photos' and one 'Resized Photos'. Make 2 folders on your desktop or other desired location. For my photo I chose landscape.(see second image) Save the photo.īackground Photos- I have found if you use 1024 (32x32) photos, it makes the perfect balance of the main photo's resolution and size of the back ground photos. If the photo is portrait, set the height to 600px and the width to 400px. (see first image) Image>canvas size- If the photo is landscape, set the width to 600px and the height to 400px. Image>Image Size- Set the width (if the photo should be landscape) or the height (if the photo should be portrait ) to 600px. I first re-sized the width of the image to 600px. That gave me the ratio I needed to crop my image. To keep the ratio the same for the image I was working on and the final image, (The ratio will change based on your final photo size) I took 20/30=.6666667. (see above image for location of crop tool) Sizing Main Photo - Now you need to think ahead to what size you want the final print so that the final print isn't distorted.

Select the crop tool and crop the image to the desired look. To do this, select File>open then choose the correct file. If the image you have chosen isn't as zoomed in as desired, open up Photoshop and open the main photo. It works better if the photo is close up. Choosing Main Photo- The main image is the larger Photo in the mosaic.
