What does the Photo Mosaic effect change?

Photo Mosaic arranges source imagery into a deliberate multi-panel composition, using spacing, crop, and alignment rules that remain readable at common export sizes. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Photo Mosaic?

Choose Photo Mosaic for photo stories and contact sheets, postcards and greeting cards, or product comparisons when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains sources with essential content at every edge, unreadably small text, or mixed images whose aspect ratios cannot support the selected layout.
