Halftone
The Halftone filter simulates the look of continuous tone through a choice of screen types.
This filter can be applied as a non-destructive, live filter. It can be accessed via the Layer menu, from the New Live Filter Layer category.
Settings
The following settings can be adjusted in the filter dialog:
- Screen Type—provides a choice of how the continuous tone is generated from Dot, Line, Circular or Color.
- Screen Angle—changes the direction of the tone reproduction.
- Cell Size—dictates the size of each individual dot, line or circle that makes up the continuous tone.
- Contrast—increases or decreases the tonal contrast between each cell.
- Gray Component Replacement—(Color screen type only) controls the contrast of areas between color cells.
- Under Color Removal—(Color screen type only) controls the influence of the color cells. Increase to lessen their influence and desaturate the image.
