Half Tone Color is available in the Pro tier.
A color variation of the Half tone effect. Halftone uses a grid of dots to reproduce the image, varying the size or spacing of the dots to depict tonal changes. Color Half tone renders each color channel into a half tone grid, then blends them to create the color image.
- Preset: Choose from one of the built-in presets to immediately replicate a specific half tone look.
- Type: Select the color channels used to generate the half tone.
- RGB: Uses the red, green, and blue channels which make up most digital images.
- CMY: Uses the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow channels used in printing, for a more accurate replication of printed imagery.
- Resolution: Defines the number of dots which will be used to represent the image, horizontally.
- Angle: Sets the angle of each vertical line of dots.
- Offset: Shifts the overall brightness of the entire image. Positive values brighten, negative values darken.
- Smooth Source: Applies a pre-blur of the layer before converting it to half-tone, thereby softening the details.
- Red/Cyan: Repositions the red or cyan channel, depending on the selected type. Individual color channels can be offset in this way to replicate the slight alignment errors common in old color half tone images.
- Shift X: Shifts the red or cyan channel along the horizontal axis. Positive values move the dots right, negative values move them left.
- Shift Y: Shifts the red or cyan channel along the vertical axis. Positive values move the dots up, negative values move them down.
- Green/Magenta: Repositions the green or magenta channel, depending on the selected type. Individual color channels can be offset in this way to replicate the slight alignment errors common in old color half tone images.
- Shift X: Shifts the green or magenta channel along the horizontal axis. Positive values move the dots right, negative values move them left.
- Shift Y: Shifts the green or magenta channel along the vertical axis. Positive values move the dots up, negative values move them down.
- Blue/Yellow: Repositions the blue or yellow channel, depending on the selected type. Individual color channels can be offset in this way to replicate the slight alignment errors common in old color half tone images.
- Shift X: Shifts the blue or yellow channel along the horizontal axis. Positive values move the dots right, negative values move them left.
- Shift Y: Shifts the blue or yellow channel along the vertical axis. Positive values move the dots up, negative values move them down.
