Hey there! Iain MacMillan here once again.

Photo Mosaics are the photo album covers on bebo formed into one image on the photos module, like the one below.

Here I will show you how to make your own photo mosaic, just like that.

The program I’m using is Photoshop CS3, but if you something like Fireworks or Corel Paint Shop Pro, it will do just fine.

1) Take a print Screen of the photos module.

To take a print screen, hold ctrl + Prnt Scrn and open up your program, click New (it will automatically make a document the size of the Print Screen), and then paste the print screen into the document.

You may also want to crop the area of the photos module, as it’s that area we’re looking at.

2) Delete the images in the boxes.

I’m using the Marquee tool (M in photoshop) here to cut this out.

3) Take your image and place the layer BENEATH the print screen layer.

This helps lay it out correctly.

4) Use the Crop Tool (C in photoshop) to crop each image, and then save each image as a .jpg or gif.

It could be useful to make a folder at this stage, to keep them all together.

Also save them as in order, ie top left is 1, top middle is 2 etc.

(note: in the case of animated gifs, click New>Save For Web>gif image, otherwise it won’t animate)

Repeat this for all your images for the mosaic.

Then just make an album for each image, upload them onto bebo in that order, and voila! You have your mosaic!
