How to Make a Lithograph From a Photo
- 1). Open your photo editing software. Load your image into the software; usually this involves selecting the "File" tab in the upper left corner and then choosing "Open."
- 2). Find the "Litho" setting under the "Effects" tab or similar tab, depending on your software; if your software doesn't have a "Litho" setting, change your photo to black and white, then play with the contrast or saturation levels until you achieve a highly contrasted, mostly black and white image.
- 3). Save the new image. Load the colored paper into your printer.
- 4). Right-click on the image file, and select "Print" from the drop-down menu. Click "Next" until you get to the "Printing Options" page, and type 4 into the box asking how many pages to print.
- 5). Click "Next" to get to the "Layout Selection" page, then select the "3.5 x 5 in. Prints" option and enter "4" into the box asking how many times to use each picture. Click "Next" to complete the process.
- 6). Wait for ink to dry for at least 20 minutes.
- 7). Arrange colored papers together in a checkerboard pattern on a large, flat work surface, upside-down and overlapping each other by about 1/4 inch.
- 8). Tape papers together across the edges on the back and turn over. Frame your repeating lithograph artwork as you wish.
