    Halftone Image Effect

    jr4292 Community Member

      Looking to create this effect on an image in photoshop (halftone effect with dotted clipping mask). Can anyone give me the name of this effect and point me to a tutorial on how to do this effect and clipping mask style?

       

      Example: http://www.yamaha.com/soundsofsummer/ (large image of drums in the middle of the page)

          Illustrator has a halftone effect that could get you started.

           

          Edit: Duh, and Photoshop has the same thing in Filters.

            Look under Filer>Pixelate>Color Halftone. There is no preview,

            so start with the default values first.

             

            Also you could try Filter>Sketch>Halftone Pattern on a duplicate layer

            and then change the layers blending mode to Luminosity to bring

            back the color.

              And the dotted Mask can be achieved with the Filters mentioned by the previous posters applied to a Layer Mask.

               

              If maintained editability for the Mask is a concern one could go with another, rather convoluted method with Smart Object in Smart Object and then Clipping Mask to that.

              Edit: Sometimes I might overdo it with the Smart Objects – the second SO is actually unnecessary as it could just as well be done in the first SO …
