Application of montage principle

Photo processing

Montage photo processing technology is a new photo processing method, which is different from the traditional adjustment of exposure rate and pigment distribution. It is an organic combination of block mosaics.

This technique requires hundreds or thousands of scales, i.e. picture elements. The selected scales should be distributed with a variety of pigments so that no empty blocks appear when the software is combined. The finished photo contains thousands of small photos. There is a small world in the big world, which can be described as "strange and strange".
