This tutorial explains how to make mosaic in Paint.NET.

We all know Paint.NET as one of the best free image editor software. However, it can also be used to generate the mosaic. Sounds pretty interesting, right? Instead of using the small images, which is required by mosaic maker software, Paint.NET uses boxes to generate the mosaic. So you don’t need tons of images to prepare the mosaic of an image.

For generating the mosaic in Paint.NET, you will need an 8bf filter (Photoshop filter) plugin, and a Paint.NET plugin that can host that filter. To make it easy for you, I have added the link of both tools in this tutorial.

The screenshot below shows the interface of the filter using which you can create mosaic in Paint.NET.

So let’s find out how to generate the mosaic from boxes in Paint.NET.

How To Make Mosaic in Paint.NET?

Here are the steps that you need to perform to make mosaic in Paint.NET:

Step 1: First of all, you have to download a plugin that can host or run Photoshop filters (8bf) in Paint.NET. Here is the link of 8bf filter plugin of Paint.NET’s zip file. Download the file and extract it in a folder.

Step 2: After extracting the zip file, you need to copy and paste two files, PSFilterPdn.dll and PSFilterShim files, in Effects folder of Paint.NET.

Step 3: Use this link to download the zip file of 8bf filter, called Box Fitting. This is the filter that will help you to make mosaic from boxes in Paint.NET. Extract the zip file and copy paste this filter to the same Effects directory.

Step 4: Now open Paint.NET → insert an image → Click Effects menu → and you will see 8bf Filter option.

Step 5: Click that option and a small window of Paint.NET 8bf filter plugin will open in front of you. In that window, you will find Box Fitting filter added by you. Select that filter and tap on Run Filter button.

Step 6: Window of Box Fitting filter comes with multiple options that you need to adjust to make the mosaic as good as possible. You can set the number of boxes, seeds, size of boxes, and can also preview the mosaic in real-time. Apart from this, you also have the option to Multiply the Render to add finishing in the mosaic.

Finally, you can press OK button to apply the changes to the photo. It may take a few seconds to successfully apply the changes. After this, you can close the window of 8bf filter plugin using OK button and the mosaic will be in front of you. If you like the mosaic, save it, or open the same window of 8bf filter plugin to do the changes.

I am not an advanced user, so keep on making lots of mistakes in my edits. Paint.net provides unlimited undo, and  redo. So, no matter what mess I create, I can always revert it back to any step of my image editing.

Simple and Intuitive Interface:

The interface is really easy to use. It provides a tabbed document display, and provides a live thumbnail of all the images. All other functionalities are well placed, and can be easily found.

Layers:

It provides options to create rich layers, something available only in expensive image editors.

Special Effects:

It provides lot of options for special effects, including, blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise, and embossing are included. Also provides unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting. It also lets you tweak an image’s brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, curves, and levels.

Powerful Tools:

It provides some really powerful tools for creating shapes, Gradient Tool, Magic wand for selecting regions of similar color, and the Clone Stamp for copying or erasing portions of an image.

The most interesting feature of this app is that you can invite friends to view your photos or share your photos with them via email. You might have used many camera apps for iPhone, but this app comes with some advanced features, which the other apps lack.

How to Take Photos and Store them directly to the Cloud:

Download and install the app from the link provided at the end of this post or from the App Store.

Let us see the steps for using this free iPhone app.

How to use the built-in camera:

Simply tap the camera icon at the bottom of the app interface to open up the IceCream camera. This built-in camera captures high-resolution photos and stores them directly to the cloud. The camera has an option to toggle between classic camera mode and shoot-and-send mode. In the classic camera mode, the photos will be stored online if you’re connected to the internet or else the photos will be stored in your camera roll. But the shoot-and-send mode can be used to share your photos with others as soon as you capture them. The following screenshot shows how to use the built-in camera.

How to free up iPhone’s space:

The app tells you how many photos you will be able to capture with the available iPhone’s space. You can free up space by syncing your photos to the cloud and removing them from your camera roll.

You can send up to 20 photos at once to your friends either by email or by inviting them (IceCream users) to your IceCream account. So no more saving photos to your camera roll to share them, as this app allows you to do so directly from the cloud after capturing a photo. When you invite others to your IceCream account, they will be able to see your photos and share their photos with you as well.

How to download original photos:

Whenever you try to download the original photos from the cloud, you will be provided a code via SMS to your registered phone number. As soon as you feed the code in the app, you can download the original photos. In order to keep your photos private and safe, it uses two-factor authentication, which means before you download a photo, you have to feed the code sent to you.

My Final Verdict:

IceCream is definitely one of the best camera apps for iPhone to take photos and sync them directly to the cloud. It helps you free up iPhone’s space without losing your precious photos. Personally, I like this app because it allows us to view our photos even when we are not connected to the internet and also without affecting the resolution much.
