[@Razorcarl]

Best tutorial I've seen. No stupid music, no unessesary introductions, just straight to the point. Such a wonderfully crafted video.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thank you!

Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed this video! More than 85% of my viewers aren't subscribed, so if you like my videos, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel. It would really help out! Thank you very much! ~ Marty 💙

[@nethiv_surya_prakash8699]

This video is created 6 years back, till it is useful for every one. Thank you bro

[@DavidHinkin]

Awesome, I spent hours making a mosaic image by opening an image, resizing, cropping, and adding it to my image and repeating 120 times. I wish I knew about this method last week. Thank you Marty! You rock!

How can we print it, is it possible to take print each small photo (high quality)

[@Eleivana777]

Probably one of the best PS tutorials I have seen. Namely the speed was just right. Sometimes videos are so blazing fast you can't possibly follow or even take notes. Explanations clear and screen image of dialogue boxes were large enough to actually see. Some videos have elements so tiny you almost need to use an electron scanning microscope to even see what is being chosen,.Great job !

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

👍🙏

[@sarveshbhalerao]

This is the tutorial I was looking for since long, and finally found it. The important part of your tutorials is, you mention every option in detail and also for windows and Mac. Thank you for sharing...

[@firstow_]

My teacher really loves your videos. Everyday when we get into our Photoshop lesson, she usually puts one of your videos as the lesson. Shes killing 2 stones by making you teach us and we get more in depth learning. I also really love these videos as well. As of right now I don't have Photoshop, but these videos really make me want to get it!

[@burgocis64]

Perfect! Actually, the idea is pretty simple, but the result is just great! Special thanks for the high quality video, superior narrating sound (100% understandable speech that is crucially important for those whose first language is not Eng like me) and for the detailed explanation of everything you do! Amazing!!!

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

You're very welcome!

[@thepurpleufo]

Marty...no one comes up with more interesting and well-presented tutorials than *you* do!!!!!!! Thank you.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Glad you like them!

[@nub-cake]

This was the best presented tutorial ever. Super clear, simple, very very well done. I will surely check out the rest of your content. Thank you!

[@kristyb39]

helpful tip: alternate the 12 and 8 for a portrait mosaic instead of landscape

[@richardmolewa5263]

I tried it! Thanks.

[@idrissmoustamine1524]

Please all the images in my folder are 1:1 ,and when i try to change the aspect to a 12 by 12 for example i can't.

[@lilachbaram6969]

Great tutorial!!! Very easy to follow, the only question I have is when making my folder with the pictures I love, all the pictures are shown with the serial number, how do I get read of that?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

At the bottom of the Contact Sheet II window, make sure "Use Filename as Caption" is empty.

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

Great video Marty. Love the effect!

Marty, I have a suggestion for a tutorial "Composition with Triangles" Do a model and place a couple of diagonal words in the composition

[@shubhamgurjar2699]

thanks blue lightning tv photoshop :-)

[@TheJPinder]

your way of explaining things is so helpful

[@jayieselly8567]

man you are just amazing. Great tutorial

[@matthewtyndall1918]

Good tutorial. For a larger amount of photos, it's easier to build the columns and rows in InDesign, use place with Command + Shift to build it and use fit content to box. That way you don't have to necessarily adjust each mask individually. You can just copy paste that into PS.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sheilaray1639]

This is a great tutorial! Can we also use a higher res. for the photos?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Yes, but your document's file size will be immense.

[@sheilaray1639]

@@BLTV_Photoshop Thank you for replying so quickly! It looked really low res when I was aligning them but the end result came out beautiful! Thank you so much for your tutorial.

[@Elpokopiko98]

Ooooh yeah. Now I can create my own Marvel logo with my images inside the letters

[@mattofuller]

Great tutorial--thanks. I'm curious whether the circles in alternating rows can be offset from the rows above and beneath it? Kind of like a honeycomb grid where every other row is off-set by half the diameter of the circle in the row above and row beneath it.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Great idea, however, as a pattern, there would be a problem of alignment along the edges.

[@mattofuller]

@@BLTV_Photoshop understood but still want to do it. :)

[@GregoryLongs]

That was awesome, THANKS!

[@Itssunflowergamer28]

Which app Do you use for this beautiful photo art

[@Itssunflowergamer28]

Plz plz plz Tyep

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

For this tutorial, I used Photoshop CC 2017. The filter that creates the mosaic is called Contact Sheet II.

[@barbbaker579]

Thanks for this. Brilliant plus you just saved me £117 as I've been struggling to make a mosaic, saw a tutorial about doing it with Lightroom and thought maybe I had to use that to create it! Durrrrr! I feel confident I can do this with Ps now, thank you. Instructions so clear and concise. Don't suppose there are written instuctions too?!

[@Skatem8]

Thank you for this video. A suggestion to all who view, when I sorted pictures out for my project, I selected the pictures in thumbnail mode so I could see how the image looked prior to importing into Photoshop.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]
