How to create a photo mosaic

21.04.2009

1. Choose a suitable scene for your mosaic. Avoid moving objects such as people or traffic. You've probably seen some odd effects on Google Street View - if a person is in two or more shots they'll appear more than once in the mosaic. Also try to ensure the lighting is similar for each shot.

2. Now take plenty of shots of your chosen scene; you won't be able to fill in any gaps later. Work systematically - perhaps work from top left to bottom right, row by row, to cover the entire scene. AutoStitch needs plenty of overlap between adjacent shots to match them up. Aim to provide at least a 30 percent overlap.
