Make True and Better Photo Mosaics Using TurboMosaic
Adobe Photoshop is a powerful tool, but
It isn’t built to make photos mosaics. It is a general multi-purpose photo editor not a photo mosaic maker.
Here’s a comparison of photo mosaics made using Photoshop and TurboMosaic:
The photo mosaic made in Photoshop is dull because the main image overlays the tile pictures. On the other hand, the photo mosaic made in TurboMosaic has vibrant and distinct tile pictures.
Steps TurboMosaic takes to generate a photo mosaic:
1. It analyzes the main picture for color and shapes.
2. It analyzes tile pictures for color and shapes.
3. Intelligently places tile pictures in a grid to match the corresponding location in the main image by color and shape.
Here’s the photo mosaic made using TurboMosaic:
The Photoshop mosaic process doesn’t take the colors and shapes of the main picture into account. The mosaic effect made in Photoshop is a result of superimposing the main image.
On the contrary, mosaic made in TurboMosaic doesn’t require super-imposition of the main picture. It is a result of the intelligent placement of tile pictures.
The photomosaics made using Photoshop, Gimp, Powerpoint, Picasa, or other similar generic editors aren’t true photo mosaics. True photo mosaics have clear and distinct cells and such mosaics look great both when viewed from a distance and when viewed from close up.

What can I customize about my photo mosaic?
You are the creator, artist, author, maker, and designer. Mosaically is your tool, your ally ;) your paintbrush for your art. You design the mosaic by picking the big picture, and adding all the photos that goes inside it. Then Mosaically will initially arrange them for you, but you have full control over exactly which photo goes to which spot. How big the small photos are. How much to colorize and superimpose the overall mosaic, or each individual tile. It's not much different than if you were to create it from scratch in Photoshop yourself manually placing each photo in the best spot manually. You can do that on Mosaically if you so choose. Just pick a blank white image as your big picture, and you will simply end up with a blank collage of photos, which you can manipulate into your big picture. Mosaically just automatically crops your pictures by detecting faces, and generates the initial positions for you to speed things up. But that's really just the final polishing at the end. Much like how the bulk of the work of a photographer or a painter is choosing their subject, the bulk of your creativity is choosing your subject of your mosaic that ultimately determine your art. It's your choices that breath meaning and life. Even more so when you are collaborating with others.

Not all prints are created equal. Printing itself is an art that requires great amount of science and precision. There are prints that cost $20 to make, and there are prints that cost $200 to make. It may not matter to most, it matters greatly when it comes to your mosaic art. The need to see each small photo in as sharp and vivid detail as possible is a need that most print shops and their limited printing technology cannot meet. We make your mosaic as high resolution as possible so that when it is printed using the right laser technology and traditional light-senitive photographic media, you will see tiny photos that are as sharp and vividly colorful as they can possibly get. This is a very different process than the convenient and fast inkjet technology available at most local print shops. It takes longer, and costs more, and it's hard work, but it lasts a lifetime, and it's ultimately what your art deserves, what you deserve, and whoever you might gift the mosaic to deserves. This is why we offer only the world's highest qualilty print media selections. We only bring before you the best-in-class each type of media can offer. So that whatever media you choose to put your mosaic on, you will know that it's the best you can get in the world.
