Tip: Mosaic Filter

By Kim Mannino

A mosaic is a piece of art or image made from the assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. The mosaic filter in Artisan is a tool used to transform photos and/or elements into a mosaic-like appearance. This effect breaks the image into smaller, usually square, pieces that mimic the look of a traditional mosaic made of tiles. Each piece can vary in color to match the original image, creating a visually interesting and artistic effect. Artisan offers two mosaic filters: one with 4-sided tiles and another with 6-sided tiles. Both filters provide the same set of options. This tip will focus on documenting the 4-sided mosaic filter option.

Specifically, it works by applying a vibration-like effect to the pixels in the image, which can create a wavy or blurring effect, depending on the settings used. Overall, the vibrations filter can be a powerful tool for image processing. However, as with any image processing technique, it's important to use it judiciously to achieve the best possible result.
