I have just aquired a copy of my great grandmother, unfortunatly it came from a newspaper or a magazine. However I would like to remove the halftoning and then later colorize it. The latter should be no problem as I've done tht before, but those pesky halftones have me stumped. I have tried using gaussian blur and unsharp mask but it looks a bit iffy if you know what I mean.
View 9 RepliesI'm following a tutorial that says how to do this effect, but my problem is that I'm working with high resolution, so whenever I try to dot it I get really small dots which aren't really visible.
What can I do to make them bigger?
I am printing to my Epson 4880 for screen printing film. I have recently upgraded to CS6 on Windows 7. I can choose the separations option in the print window and edit the dot frequency and angle options.
When the film is printed, the graphics are printed as grayscale NOT dot pattern. This will not work when exposing screens. There is nothing new that I am doing so I must have some settings overlooked.
"Can Illustrator allow the user to control the size of halftone dots?" Just to be clear, for silk screen, the dots must be course. I have read several posts on the subject and still there is no definitive answer. The PPD file has been loaded. The document is a CMYK. In the print menu the separation menu has only very fine settings available (The lowest is 56 lpi/300dpi) which if selected makes very little to no difference in the dot patterns.
Just to reduce confusion, often a silk screen printer will try to get two colors for the price of one. The simplest example would be to get Black & Gray with one screen. If I set the Gray to 50% and the Black to 100%, still no change. If I use spot colors like PMS Cool Gray and Black, no change. Moving the files into Photoshop may work but fundamentally speaking PhotoShop in my opinion is for constant tone images or Photos, and it seems counter productive to add in a extra step (and software) to the work flow.
I like Illustrator and have invested hundreds of hours learning and promoting it's virtues. When I was asked by a local shop how to do this task, I responded,Can I do this or do I need to tell my associate to keep using CorelDraw! 7...
Idea is to make halftone effect but with hexagons or triangles (for example) instead of circles... don't know if there ever was some plug-in (or it is some complicted programing) for doing this but i saw similar stuff so...
i know i can mask some patterns but all the shapes has same size then so that's not it...many thanks in advance...
what Im looking and seen it around other places is like an outer glow but instead of a glow its dots where the dots closest to the object are large and close together and as they move out they get smaller and further apart...

Many of my pictures are taken at home and I want to focus upon the wife and kids, not the sofa or curtains.
I've tried the magic wand and select similar and I've tried the magnetic lasoo - whilst both are good, they're not quite there.
I have a titleblock block with a tiff image inserted signature. With imageframe set to 0, the frame is gone and the titleblock prints fine. When this titleblock is inserted into a drawng sheet and the drawing sheet is set to imageframe - 0. The frame around the signature is visible and it prints.

Adding strokes to an object, often text (in this case outlined/expanded text), and there develops little unsightly "negative space shapes".
The white stroke has an Offset Path added to it.
How to dynamically rid an object of these? Tried drawing little paths over them, grouping them with the compound text path and using Pathfinder > Add effect . . . but nope.
The workarounds are obvious -
1) Expand everything, delete the unwanted bits.
2) Draw solid paths over the negative spaces that match the bg, like the pic below:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am a screen printer and us photoshop regularly and that feature is a ver important part of my serparations when I make my film. I am also sue that thousands of screen printer also use this feature. Why can not such a simple already installed feature not be kept? Maybe off set printer do not need this but screen printers need this feature, we must be able to adjust our DPI , dot style and angle.

The only way I can think I creating the image in colour and with black dots is using two separate images and then merging them.

Ive been trying for days to create this type of halftone effect to photos in photoshop,
how to create those Colour halftone effect?
I had seen alot of advertising poster using those effects but i simply cant get to the way they did.
I tried the colour halftone in my PS 7 but its not what i want.
For example, I have an image of a face, Is there any way I can have this face to b seen as dots?
The Dots usually are spaced at different distances and in different sizes.
here are my instructions for a photo... i acted like i knew what my boss was talking about bc i didnt want to look like an idiot. but honestly i forgot what this stuff means.
-convert to halftone
-screen halftone to 20%

I have to prepare it for film too, in case that changes anything.
i recently upgraded my iMac from 9.1 to 9.2, and all seemed to work well. however, there is a problem with Photoshop. i routinely use halftones in my work, and am having a big problem selecting a halftone pattern. no matter which pattern i select (elipse, round, line, etc.) all i get are squares.
i've tried deleting my preferences and also upgraded from 6.0 to 6.0.1, but the problem remains.
I'm using Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS X. Last year I created an artwork including colour half tones, but also some other simple halftone filter that I applied to layers of solid colour (see attached image - you may need to view it at 100% to see what I mean)
It's a simple half tone pattern of white vs 1xcolour using either circles or squares. I remember that this was applied simply, not any special process as I didn't go out of my way to create this effect I just stumbled upon it. I can't for the life of me remember how to do it again.
I have been struggling to master the style used here by artist Joshua Budich, I have been searching the internet and spending many hours on photoshop the past few days trying to figure out how to add halftone/polka dots in the same colours, like the one used in the Star Wars print and the pattern used on Tyrell.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using a two channel multi-channel file, and am trying to achieve an effect using the Halftone Pattern filter.
I apply the filter to one channel only (which has an image which I've increased the contrast, to deliberately blow-out the white areas). The other channel is just a flat block of background colour. The problem is that this filter applies itself in a horizontal manner only - and I want an angled pattern.
So I have rotated the image channel 45 degrees and then applied the filter ass before. Which works great and give me the effect I want.
The problem is because I have rotated the image 45 degrees, the corners of the image now exceed the canvas, and when I rotate the image back to it's original angle, I've lost the corners of the image.
So why don't I just increase the canvas size before rotating the image?
Well I did, but the strangest thing occurs when I apply the filter (same setting and selection as before). The filter acts quite differently, most notably in the (deliberately)blown out areas of "white". Before increasing the canvas size, the line pattern would taper into nothing in these areas. However, after increasing the canvas size, these areas become thick lines, instead of tapering to approxiamate the tonal value (white) before having applied the filter.
I want to take the idea of the halftone pattern in the filter gallery and modify it. Rather than using a dot pattern, I would like the dot to be replaced by another pattern. For instance, replace the dots with stars. Now the image is composed of hundreds of stars.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi am trying to turn a black and white image or line art (with or without grey tones) into an image with white and one color.
an example would be if i have a white page with black lines on it. how could i go about making the black lines pink (and let's say they are on the same layer) without taking the paintbucket to each area?
I need to recover a B&W, fairly high-res image made up of only black and white pixels (a halftone, but individual pixels, not circular patterns for printing). The goal is to make it look more or less like a regular greyscale, so it loses that grainy look when printed. The detail is there, it's just muddled by this.
The best solution I've found so far is a gaussian blur to mix everything together. Sadly, this leaves everything rather noisy. Is there a better way than just blue + noise removal + unsharp mask? Or is this the standard prescription for such an image.
Does anyone know of a way to create your own custom halftone pattern in Photoshop? e.g. When converting to a bitmap you get the option of dot/line etc but you can't choose any custom shapes (I want to use an asterisk). You can use a pattern but it doesn't produce the same effect. Does anyone know of a way to do this or have any links to tutorials?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to make it the way I want.I want the same exact effect as the "Color Halftone" filter in Photoshop makes, but what I'm searching for is a way to change the traditional dots to a costume shape.I tried other alternative solutions, like pattern overlay, in blending options.
here the shape of the halftone effect is circles which is what I want to change, but I want the same effect with the varying sizes, and the colors.
This is the patter i want to use, but it doesn't have the same effect with the colors, because it's just a pattern over a colored area. and the sizes doesn't vary either. The shape in this pattern is the one I want to use instead of the circles, that is the stock one in Photoshop.
