ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 4.0 204 User Guide Pixelate filters Color Halftone The Color Halftone filter simulates the result of using an enlarged halftone screen on the layer. The filter divides the image into rectangles and replaces each rectangle with a circle. The circle size is proportional to the brightness of the rectangle. To apply the Color Halftone filter 1 In the Editor, select an image, layer, or area. 2 Choose Pixelate > Color Halftone from the Filter Gallery, Styles And Effects palette, or Filter menu. 3 Enter a value for the maximum radius of a halftone dot, from 4 to 127 pixels. 4 Enter a screen-angle value between -360 and 360 (the angle of the dot from the true horizontal) for one or more channels: • For grayscale images, enter a value in channel 1. Values in the other channel text boxes do not affect the filter. • For color images, use channels 1, 2, 3, and 4, which correspond to CMYK channels (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). 5 Click Defaults to return all the screen angles to their default values. 6 Click OK.
