Men this video should hit 10 million views you are very very very good the way you explain this THANK YOU I never did half tone before but I sure will today you make it even a baby can do 😆 lol very good explanation.
Was your image black and white to start with? If the halftone is applied to a coloured image, you get the coloured dots. Try making the image greyscale first then apply the halftone effect. Hope that helps.
Thank you for this tuturial! but how can I create a vector file based on black and white image with half tone effect with perfect circles/dots ? once i used the trace tool - all the dots were not perfect....thanks!
When applying the image trace, the interface is different on illustrator CC, as it does not have the option for 'minimum area,' to the right of threshold. Upon first click of the image trace on default setting, it is shockingly nowhere near your results. Do you know how to compensate for the new image trace panel on CC?
click on the "colour halftone" button. the halftone window will appear on screen, which has the pixel radius and some other stuff. make all the angles on the channels the same. it will not show multi-coloured after that.
Could you also use a halftone effect (or any other effect from the effects gallery) that dies out over a radial gradient? For example, that in centre of the rose there is no effect and that the effect gradually increase outwards. Is that possible?
Two things: you need your document to be in CMYK mode, not RGB (If it's RGB, the halftone separates Black into its constituent colors, in CMYK, black doesn't have to be separated) The other thing is that the photo you paste in needs to be greyscale, so that again the black that you're looking at is not made up of RGB channels.
one thing you can do is take your black and white image and use the halftone filter. then the window with the pixel radius and angles will pop up. make all the angles the same. it happened with me once before as well. hope this helps.
Thanks greatly for this tut!!! Question: is this the procedure to prepare it for tshirt printing as well. I would assume to invert the black and white if im doing this on a black shirt? What other steps would i need to do to prep to use my image for printi g to a shirt thanks in advance. I also would like to incorporate text along with this and have the text the same color so in regards to prepping for printing screens any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!.
