Frequently Asked Questions
What is a halftone effect?
Halftone is a reprographic technique that simulates continuous tones through dots of varying sizes. Darker areas get larger dots, lighter areas get smaller dots. It is the classic look seen in newspaper prints and comic books.
What does the angle slider do?
The angle rotates the dot grid pattern. Different angles produce different visual effects. A 45° angle is the classic print look, while 0° creates a straight grid. Experiment to find your preferred style.
Can I use circle and square dots?
Yes. Circle dots give the traditional halftone print appearance. Square dots create a more pixelated, geometric look. Both shapes respond to the image brightness — darker areas produce bigger shapes.
