Hello,
I took a small black & white photograph and did SOMETHING to
it in either photoshop or Windows paint which made it turn out looking
like little dots composing the image. Unfortunately I cannot remember
how I did it :( Its something simple as I don't remember taking very
long to do it.
Please help me figure out how I could take that photo and achieve the
same effect.
Could you perhaps try it out and see if you can get a dotted picture as
SHARP as the one I have? I've tried and tried but to no avail.
Thank in advance to anyone who helps me.
PS: I've tried Filter->Pixelate->Mezzotint but that does not give a
dotted image quite as sharp as the one I mysteriously generated.

thank you for your reply. I just figured it out myself. Yes you are right about changing it to a bitmap in photoshop. Thereafter, I selected 'dither' or something that poppedup and it produced the image. Its much sharper than if you were to use the Filter->Pixelate method. Sorry if my pictures don't show, its one of them free webhosts and I guess you get what you pay for :( Thank you again for your help. edjh wrote: > visualseeplus@yahoo.com wrote: > > x-no-archive: yes > > > > Opps, here is the link to the pictures : > > > > http://www.anycities.com/freddie/Marilyn/marilyn.html > > > Change to Grayscale, then change to Bitmap and choose Halftone Screen in > the dialog. > > BTW your pix don't display. > > -- > Comic book sketches and artwork: > http://www.sover.net/~hannigan/edjh.html > Comics art for sale: > http://www.sover.net/~hannigan/batsale.html

Also with your halftone, have a play around with the frequency setting. MH

I can see them with Internet Explorer which I usually avoid using (I use Firefox).

You can not use .bmp images on the Web. If you want to put pictures on the Web, make them .gif or .jpg. -- Art, photography, shareware, polyamory, literature, kink: all at http://www.xeromag.com/franklin.html Nanohazard, Geek shirts, and more: http://www.villaintees.com

As far as dithering b&w images. I particularly like the Floyd Steinberg method. It produces strikingly beautiful results when the images are viewed at full size. Walterius, Old and dithering in Fort Lauderdale
