You can use the tessellation technique to create a stained-glass effect.
You can alter the appearance of mosaics and tessellations in many ways. For example, you can give a three-
dimensional (3D) appearance to mosaics or add points to tessellations to increase the number of shapes.

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 Mosaic and Tessellation 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 750.
After you apply tiles to a mosaic, you can select, deselect, or remove tiles to change their color or apply
effects to them. For information, see “Selecting and removing tiles” on page 739 and “Specifying tile and
grout color” on page 741.
When creating mosaics from scratch, you can follow these helpful guidelines:
