IE Photomontage

If you plan on offering someone a portrait for a present, but find the idea a little bit conventional, here’s a nice idea. Coming up with a reinterpretation could be innovative enough, especially if it involves putting your creativity to the test.

ImageElements PhotoMontage is a piece of software that could come in handy in this scenario since it helps you apply some eye-catching effects to your pictures so that they look fresh and interesting.

First things first, as far as the program’s appearance is concerned, there is nothing to worry about, regardless of your technical background. The GUI packs a limited number of features, and little trial and error is required in order to become confident in your skills.

Once you have selected the image you want to process, you should be able to see it in the main window. If you take a look at the panel on the left, you should see that both automatic and manual settings are available so that you can easily turn your picture into a puzzle.

If you opt for the automatic mode, you need to indicate the number of columns and rows you want to create, with the program creating a puzzle out of your image. Custom cells can be designed, and tilting them right or left is possible too.

Indicating the outline width and color should raise no difficulty whatsoever, and the same applies to adjusting the fixed gap width. As for the background, you can choose your original or tiled image or a solid color. Moreover, experimenting with various colors and depths in order to create shadows is a given.

On an ending note, ImageElements PhotoMontage is a lightweight program designed to create tiled images, with a decent set of tools being put at your disposal for optimal results. The program should be easy to figure out, but it’s safe to say that there is nothing revolutionary about it.
