You can use the tessellation technique to create a stained-glass like effect.
You can alter the appearance of mosaics and tessellations in many ways. For example,
you can give it a three-dimensional (3D) appearance to mosaics or add points to
tessellations to increase the number of shapes.
This section contains the following topics:
• Creating a mosaic

Creating a mosaic
You can create a mosaic from scratch or from a clone source. When you create a mosaic,
it is applied directly to the canvas. You cannot apply mosaic tiles inside a layer.
After you exit the Make Mosaic dialog box, you can treat this rendered image just like
any photograph or painting. You can paint it, apply effects to it, select portions of it, or
increase the canvas size. You can also integrate mosaic effects into an existing image. For
information, see “Adding mosaic effects to an image” on page 721.
