Photoshop :: Halftones And Setting It Up
Apr 26, 2004
how to set up a digital picture in Photoshop so it looks good printed. I am unsure how to do somethings in the instructions. These are the instructions.
Digital files: 300 dpi
Shadow Dot: 87
Highlight Dot: 9
85 Line Screen
Round Dot
Save picture as RGB file, adjust excess colors before convert to Grayscale.
I Know how to make round dots, and I kind of know how to adjust color, I also know how to convert to Grayscale. But everything else confuses me.
How do I set the Shadow dot and Highlight dot?
And where can I change the dpi?
And how do I set the Line Screen?

I dont like the illustrator halftone effect that comes with the program ... and i dont know how to use photoshop to do halftones and then put them back into illustrator to keep working ... I probably sound like i dont know what im talking about but is there a plug in for illustrator besides phantom cs is all im wondering.

This is really an Illy question directed to Sir Scott, but if anyone out there has some Illy prowess, please chime in. I'm referring to Scott's example in post #6 of this thread.
I can create a dot pattern, no problem, creating swatches, patterns, or using blends, but where I'm hitting the wall is the gradient effect. Tried opacity masks, but that doesn't cut it. One other question I have is, what technique would I use if I wanted an offset dot pattern, say 45°.

I do not get the same results with grayscale images reproduced as halftones. While they are not true grayscale prints, the inkjet prints of grayscale images that I print from Photoshop always look good.
However when I see the final publication 20-30% of the halftone images will look dull. Is there some way to better visualize with Photoshop what a grayscale image will look like when printed in halftone?

I set up films for screenprinting for remote clents, so work at 35, 45 and 55 lpi a lot. The best way, of course, is to save a pdf with postcript halftones and angles set correctly and have the client print to film through their RIP. Most of my clients don't have RIPs and never will. So I end up working with the bitmap/halftone settings in Phtoshop a lot. It takes a long time. If I could print photoshop or Illustrator seps to hi rez .tiffs (I know they have to be 1200 ppi, but we can work with that) through a RIP via a virtual printer or some other thing, it would save me a lot of time.

how I can get halftone lines to print? No matter what options I chose in the print dialog box > output, NOTHING works. It just prints out the gradient.

Is there a quick and easy way to convert halftones into opacities?
For example, if I have an element with a 50% black fill, is there a way (besides manually) to convert to a solid black fill with a 50% opacity? This is, of course, a simplified example. But consider artwork with a large variety of halftones that I would like to be scales of opacity instead. As you can imagine, it would be mindnumbingly tedious to have to adjust manually across the entire artwork.
The primary use of this would be in recoloring art containing halftones. If I select a different swatch that I want as the new base color, the entire artwork is recolored at 100%, instead of retaining the appropriate halftones. I know I could use the "Recolor Artwork" method, but it would be much simpler to simply have the halftones set as opacities and be able to select any color that strikes my fancy on the fly from the main color palette.

I have a new HP Laserjet M712 B&W printer to replace my aging HP 5000 printer. I'm using X3 & X5 and have installed the HP Universal Postscript driver. The printer is Postscript 3 emulation capable. I have all the settings in the print dialog of Corel the same as the settings from my HP5000 printer, but the new printer fails to print halftones or "dots". The halftone areas are still printing as a solid although I have my screen frequency at 45lpi. Is this a Corel issue or is it a Windows 7 problem, or some kind of user error.

I've been using Corel X4 extensively for the last year to create screenprint designs for the company I now work for. Although some of my designs are extremely complex, they are straight 1-5 colors, which I seperate for printing myself.
My boss has purchased RIP software which I have a vague knowledge of using, however, I have no clue how to actually create the design that would need a halftone print and therefore, have never used the expensive RIP software to print with.

I'm using A Mac OS 10.6.8, and Illustrator CS5. I do garment screen printing. In my designs I use a gradient, which needs to have the halftone dots controlled, and a certain size, to expose properly on my screens to then print. I can't seem to figure out how to adjust the frequency or LPI, and the angle so that they work. It still prints out as a seen on screen

The PS file InDesign CS6 generated to use to import into Acrobat for printer spreads has pixelated halftones. Is this a problem with InDesign CS6? Does it contain a post script driver?

Best practices for setting up systems in a lab environment. We have a lab enviroment of about 200 systems that access AutoCad, Inventor, Mechanical and others.
We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.
In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.
We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.

i would like to know if the ram setting slider in photoshop preferences/setting is meant to be for all the available ram in the computer or all available ram, which stays free from all other sametime running apps? for example, if i run osx 10.8 or 10.9, i use to run ONLY photoshop and no other app besides, so the finder would need maybe 2 or 3 GB RAM, and the rest is for photoshop.does the ram setting count with finder ram consumption or without?
my imac has 32GB RAM - so, if i set ram to 70% (out of 32GB) in photoshop settings, the finder can use 30% of 32GB, yes? anyway, it won't show "available ram is 32GB" in the settings, it shows less than 32GB would be available, so is this the answer to my question?
could i set it to 80% or 90%, when i only run photoshop (cs5 / cs6 / cc) and no other app besides? (only the 10.8.5 or 10.9 finder) or would this mean performance lags in photoshop?

Is there a way to make the setting of all the windows smaller and therefore have a bigger space area? I need Layers, Actions, Color, Navigator and Tools open at all times, but they take almost 30% of my work area.

I'm testing out Photoshop CS6 to see if there's much a difference between CS5, and i'm noticing that there's no Recovery mode in Camera RAW for my file, they seemed to have changed Camera RAW a lot.
Is there no Recovery setting anymore? I have been using this since CameraRAW essentials, which Adobe ended up purchasing so i had to use Camera RAW.

I have a graphic that is
C 100
M 100
Y 100
K 100
When I move this over to Photoshop it converts it to a smart object and gives the colour a profile of
C 75
M 68
Y 67
K 90
I cannot see when I have gone wrong in my colour setup.

I have Photoshop Elements 6, and I'm an animator. As you all might have guessed, I have to save a TON of frames! And every time I save a frame, I have to change the default format to .png (that's my preferred format anyway...) way that I could change the default for saving to PNG? Because changing this every single time is getting to be monotonous...

I'm having an isue with the resolution being changed when I bring a photo into PS CS3. The photo is already 300 dpi, but it changes once I import it into the program. The odd thing is that I have to actually reset the units button before it makes the change by clicking on the drop down list.

If you have different shades of red on a single layer but you want them all be the same shade and have the same CMYK setting. Does Photoshop CS4 have a tool to make the adjustment accurately by keying in the CMYK without filling with the paint tool?
