ABSTRACT

In lithographic printing, dots are used to reproduce an image onto paper. Look with

a magnifying glass at your favorite magazine, you can see these dots. Combing the

skills we learned from adjustment layers and layer masks, we will take you through

the process of creating halftone patterns, you can use for artwork. Open Chapter

22/HalftoneRadial.tif, which is a radial gradient in an adjustment layer. Choose

Layer >> Rasterize >> Fill Content on the gradient adjustment layer to make it

into a standard layer of pixels. The next filter we are about to run will not work on

an adjustment layer, the image is in grayscale mode which affects the result of the

halftone filter.
