In brief

Turn a single portrait into a striking mosaic using multiple smaller photos in Photoshop CC 2017. This technique works best for those comfortable with Photoshop’s Contact Sheet II feature and layer manipulation. The result is a visually engaging composite that blends individual images into a cohesive whole.

Questions & answers

Which Photoshop version supports Contact Sheet II?

Contact Sheet II is available in Photoshop CS6 and later versions.

How do I remove unwanted gaps between mosaic photos?

Uncheck 'Auto-Spacing' and set both Vertical and Horizontal spacing fields to 0.
