I Can Create Photo Mosaics with Poker Chips! (1 Viewer)

[Colquhoun]

I can make these mosaics from any photo you send me, free of charge. I'll send you back a VERY large digital file, that you can have made into posters or prints up to 50" per side.

Figured I'd update this post as I don't need more images to make full mosaics. Thanks to @Sprouty for tons of great chip scans.

Here is a sample using a Joker photo:

These are sweet!

Tl;dr, but totally IN. Great stuff; lemme know what you need.

May I ask how many images of chips you needed? And were they all individual?

Edit: you could have asked every member to scan their favorite chips and upload them too. Might have saved you some time

Yes, each chip is individual. I think I could probably get some good final mosaics using 50 or so more images, just so my DDLMs don’t show up quite as often in the mosaic.
If anyone wants to give me permission to use ones from posts they’ve made (as long as they were YOUR photos) that would work fine

Who has Google photos? We could start a shared gallery we could all share the photos to.

Fine with me, but I don't think any of my posts have chips with the right orientation.

If people were to donate images, what requirements do you have? Size, dpi, padding around the chip?

The best images are straight on, so the chip is as round as possible, and background is preferably white but I can remove if necessary. 1,000 pixels in each direction will work, but the higher the resolution the better. If they’re cropped tight on all sides, it makes my job even easier. This is a good example:

Wow those are great!

Thanks @Sprouty , looks like Google photos is a good way to share.
If anyone has chip photos that they would like to share, pm me and I'll give you my email to send an album through Google photos.
Or if you have an alternative means to send, that works too!

This would make a great calendar.

Ugh, I totally forgot to submit pics to help this along!

Crap; me too; maybe I can do some right now...

OK, better late than never, right @Colquhoun ?

Awesome stuff! Can’t wait for the tasteful nudes from poker chips

These are amazing!

Crazy

Also curious to know how the effect is accomplished without software!

Super super cool

Thanks for the scans! I did a bunch more myself, just haven’t put them in the database yet...I had thought there wasn’t much interest.
If anyone wants an image made from chips, I can do it with the chips I currently have scanned.

Is scanning a Paulson color sample set cheating?

I’ll take any chip scans you got!

Very interesting and very cool! I have an idea for an attempt at this I’d love to throw past you. PM me if and when you’re ready to take on projects!

Bumping this! Are you still in need of more chip photos? @Colquhoun
