Step 1.

Open the image you want to add the linear light and halftone dot effect too.

Step 2.
Duplicate the image to a second layer. Label the layers "original image" and "halftone layer". Move
the "halftone layer" to the top of the layers window and make sure you have that layer selected.

Step 3.
Make sure you foreground color is white and your background color is black. With the "halftone
layer" selected, select Filter > Sketch > Halftone Pattern from the menu bar. Use the setting in the
image below or play around some. Click "OK" when you are done.
Your image should look something like this

Step 4.
Now we need to invert the halftone. On a PC hold down your CTRL key and press I, on a Mac use
the Command key and press I. Your image should now look something like this.
Step 5.
Almost there, we just need to tweak the "halftone layer" some. Select the layer and change its mode
from "Normal" to "Linear Light". You can also lowered the transparency some.

Outcome
And here is your final image. A very cool linear light halftone dot effect in less than 2 minutes.
Photoshop Halftone Effects
by Josh on November 18, 2008

Quick little tutorial for taking a photograph and with a few tricks in Photoshop creating a
Halftone Effect design for screen printing.

Step 1
The key to this technique is to pick a starting image with lots of light/dark contrast and a
good amount of dark shadows. Depending on what use you have in mind for the final
image make sure to choose a suitable size (width x height) file that is at least 200
pixels/inch (pip).
Step 2
Darken the image by adjusting the levels. Image > Adjustments > Levels (Command + L).
As you will notice I only moved the left (black point) and middle (midtone) sliders. By
moving the black point slider to the right I deepen the shadows by converting the darkest
gray pixels in the image to black. By moving the midtone slider to the left I intensify the
highlights by boosting the lightest (white) pixels in the image.
Step 3
Convert the image colormode to Grayscale. Image > Mode > Grayscale.

Step 4
Select the Pencil Tool (B) and set your foreground color to Black. Now paint over
everything (microphone, neck, collar, tie, ear) except the main face highlights.
Step 5
Convert the image colormode to Bitmap. Image > Mode > Bitmap.
Step 6
Once again, convert the image back to Grayscale and leave the Size Ratio set to 1. Image >
Mode > Grayscale.

Step 7
Finally, zoom in and clean up the messy edges by painting over them with the Pencil Tool
(B) set to a Black.
Conculsion
That’s it… You now can take any images and with a little work get the same look as the
Obama face below. Good luck!

Extra Credit
By changing the Frequency, Angle and Shape settings in the Halftone Screen dialog
box you can create numerous looks that work well with a wide range of design projects. To
get really creative try changing the Bitmap Method to a Custom Pattern of your
own. Grayscale, Round Halftone Screen, Custom Bitmap Pattern using Obama “O”.
Halftone Tutorial
Published by Jaime on sábado 9 de junio de 2007 a la/s 17:05

Este tutorial es para conseguir ese acabado en las fotos que simula una impresión monocroma con punto grande. Es curioso como tendemos a
subestimar técnicas como la simulación de este efecto en Photoshop pero muchas veces se nos olvida como conseguirlo. Por eso, he aquí el
tutorial.

Seleccionamos una imagen a la cual aplicar el efecto. Esta es de Stock Exchange.

Lo primero que tenemos que hacer, es desaturar la imagen con la combinación de teclas Cmd-Shift-U (Ctrl-Shift-U).
Ahora selccionamos toda nuestra imagen con Cmd-A (Ctrl-A) y copiamos con Cmd-C (Ctrl-C). Nos vamos a la paleta de Canales y creamos un
nuevo canal.

En el nuevo canal, pegamos nuestra imagen con Cmd-V (Ctrl-V).

Y aplicamos el filtro Color Halftone con el tamaño de punto a 5 (este valor puede variar dependiendo de la resolución de nuestra imagen y nuestro
gusto personal).

Y Voila!
Invertimos nuestro canal oprimiendo Cmd-I (Ctrl-I). Ahora cargamos una selección basada en nuestro canal Alpha1 haciendo Cmd-click (Ctrl-
click) sobre el canal en la paleta de canales. Creamos una nueva capa, y rellenamos de color con Shift-F5. No se les olvide poner una capa lisa
debajo para apreciar bien el efecto.
