Pixelate filters and effectsThe filters or effects in the Pixelate submenu sharply define a selection by clumping pixels of similar color values in cells. Color Halftone Simulates the effect of using an enlarged halftone screen on each channel of the image. For each channel, 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 use the Color Halftone filter:
Crystallize Clumps pixels into a solid color in a polygon shape. Mezzotint Converts an image to a random pattern of black-and-white areas or of fully saturated colors in a color image. To use the filter, choose a dot pattern from the Type pop-up menu in the Mezzotint dialog box. Pointillize Breaks up the color in an image into randomly placed dots, as in a pointillist painting, and uses the background color as a canvas area between the dots. |
