Tip: Mosaic Filter

A mosaic is a piece of art or image made from the assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. The mosaic filter in Artisan is a tool used to transform photos and/or elements into a mosaic-like appearance. This effect breaks the image into smaller, usually square, pieces that mimic the look of a traditional mosaic made of tiles. Each piece can vary in color to match the original image, creating a visually interesting and artistic effect. Artisan offers two mosaic filters: one with 4-sided tiles and another with 6-sided tiles. Both filters provide the same set of options. This tip will focus on documenting the 4-sided mosaic filter option.

Workflow Tip: Proofing Your Project for Printing

Creating a system for checking your completed project is essential to ensure accuracy and quality. Begin by developing a comprehensive checklist that covers all critical aspects of the project, including content accuracy, formatting consistency, and design alignment. Break down the review process into manageable sections, such as text, images, and layout to focus on one element at a time. Use both digital tools and manual methods, like spell checkers and printed proofs, to catch a wide range of errors. Involve a second pair of eyes for a fresh perspective and to catch mistakes you might have overlooked. Document any issues identified in a tracking table or spreadsheet, noting the location and nature of each error to streamline corrections. This systematic approach will help you thoroughly review your project, ensuring a polished and professional final product.

Tip: Filter - Invert

Invert is a feature in Artisan that allows you to reverse the colors of an image or selection. When you invert an image, all the colors in the image are changed to their opposite values on the color wheel. For example, black becomes white, white becomes black, and red becomes cyan. The invert function is often used for special effects, to create a negative image, or to enhance visibility of certain details. The process involves selecting the part of the image you want to invert, and then selecting the invert function from Artisan's Filter ribbon.
