To remove tiles
Saving to a RIFF File
If you save a mosaic in the RIFF format, you can open the file later, choose the
Make Mosaic command, and continue working.
RIFF is the only file format that will save the resolution-independent mosaic tile
objects. Saving in any other format prohibits you from resuming the mosaic process.
All file formats will save the rendered image of the mosaic tiles on the canvas.
Placing and Customizing Tiles
The Make Mosaic dialog box includes several powerful features for placing tiles and
developing and improving your mosaic. The commands in this section are accessible
from the Settings and Options pop-up menus.
Adjusting Dimensions and Randomness
Tile shapes have two categories of control: Dimensions and Randomness. These
categories can be controlled by using the Settings pop-up menu.
The Dimensions sliders let you control the basic size of the tiles and grout spacing.
The Randomness sliders allow you to control the uniformity of the tile shapes.
Increasing randomness makes the shapes more erratic, each different from the last. For
example, if the Length dimension is 10 pixels, a Length randomness of 25% creates
tiles that are randomly given a length in the range of 7.5 to 12.5 pixels.
To Do the following
Remove specific tiles In the Make Mosaic dialog box, click the
Remove Tiles button . Click or drag
across the tiles you want to remove.
Remove all tiles In the Make Mosaic dialog box, from the
Options pop-up menu, choose Reset Mosaic.
