Filters


The two series “Resonance of the Forest Flora” and “Harmony of the Desert Earth” were created in Adobe PhotoShop, version 7.0 using the Mosaic Filter.

Adobe Photoshop offers many types of filters that can be applied to an image in order to alter it in particular ways: blurring, sharpening, pixelating, adding texture, distorting.

The Mosaic Filter (in the Pixelate submenu under Filter) clumps pixels from the image into square blocks of color in a grid. The number of pixels clumped (and thus the size of each block) can be varied from 1-200. The color of a given block is derived from the hue, tone, and saturation of the pixels clumped.
