Parquet Photo Mosaic

The parquet style resembles the pattern of a parquet floor and makes it possible to use both landscape and portrait tiles in the mosaic picture. This allows your portrait photos to appear alongside your landscape photos in the mosaic picture without having to crop any of the images.

To make the best possible use of your image collection, various parquet patterns are available in parquet mode. This lets you decide in what ratio portrait and landscape tiles should be mixed. The basic pattern always corresponds to an "L", which either ...

  • ... consists of one portrait tile and one or more landscape tiles (image below, first row) if landscape photos predominate in your image collection.
  • ... or consists of one landscape tile and several portrait tiles (image below, second row) if portrait photos predominate in your image collection.
