Photos with mosaic effect, interesting patterns(Photography)

            The subject is primarily interesting and is suitable as a starting point for a photo book. However, something isn’t right with the perspective and that ‘something special’ is missing.
THE PROBLEM: The example image is fascinating due to the vivid colors, but its perspective is distorted. Unavoidably, taking the picture from another perspective was not possible.
PHOTOGRAPHING DIFFERENTLY: A polarizing fi lter could have increased the color saturation level. Balancing the perspective distortion is possible only with an expensive tilt-shift lens.
OPTIMIZING ON THE PC: Mosaic eff ect can be used as the cover page of a photo book. Before that, the photo has to be color corrected. Move the sign with the Photoshop function ‘Reduce glare’. In the example, a value of ‘-35’ for the vertical perspective leads to the desired alignment. After rotating it by a few degrees, further adjust the section with the ‘Crop’ tool. Make the colors more vibrant with ‘Picture | Adjust | Tonal correction’. For ‘Tonal inclination’, enter ‘30’ and ‘240’ as minimum and maximum values and to darken, enter a value between the two values ‘0,87’ in the fi eld. Through ‘Selective color correction’, specifi cally emphasize important colors for eff ective results. Depending on the subject ‘+30’ is a good approximate value. In the example image, it is worthwhile to intensify the shades of cyan, blue and red. Duplicate the corrected layers. As a fi lling method, select ‘Overlap [‘ and click ‘Filter | Pixilation fi lter | Mosaic eff ect’; experiment with diff erent cell sizes. A good result will be achieved if the layer is reduced in size before rasterizing. The mosaic appears exceedingly large if it is enlarged later. Additionally, it can be moved a little to intensify the eff ect. The mosaic eff ect is often weak on images with a large homogeneous surface. Duplicate the mosaic layer and use it on the new layer ‘Filter | Stylize fi lter | Find contours’. Select ‘Soft light’ with an ‘Opacity’ of ‘33 %’ as layer fi ll. Places that are too dark due to a high contrast can be lightened again in the fi rst layer with the dodge tool.
