Applying halftone effect in photoshop

Hi,
I have a bmp file opened in Photoshop CS5 to which I would like to apply a halftone effect.
The image was selected in CS5, but when I went to "Filter", none of the options under it was
active, except for "Browse filters online".
Could someone advise on how to go about doing this?
Many thanks.

Hi mmyyl,
If the file is actually a bitmap file (bitmap mode), then order have the filters available, you can go to Image>Mode and pick Grayscale.
If you want any color effects, change from Grayscale to RGB Color under Image>Mode.

  • Screen effect in Photoshop.

    Hi, everyone.
    I am trying to create a screen effect with Photoshop but can't seem to find the right way to do it. The screen I wish to create will be used to cover photos and give the illusion they are seen through screen door or something similar. I assume the effect is created with black dots equally spaced on a transparent background and saved as a PNG image. I can't figure out how to do it and how to make this dot pattern repetitive to fill the hole are of my image (or transparent background).
    Here is a link to the effect I wish to duplicate:

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi, csuebele and JJMack,
    Thanks to your help I have finally figured out how to do this.
    I captured a screen shot of the effect I was trying to duplicate at the address I provided:
    http://themes.themegoods.com/?theme=DK
    After that I opened that screen capture and enlarged it in Photoshop until I could see the individual pixels. The pattern used for that screen is a 3 by 3 pixels square with only the upper left most pixel black while all others are transparent. So I created a pattern just like that: transparent background, 3 pixels by 3 pixels square and painted the upper left one black. After that I saved it as a pattern,
    Now when I apply that pattern as an overlay to my images it gives me precisely the same effect on the link. Great ! It gives the images the same effect.
    Thank you very much to both of you for your help with my question. I really appreciate it !

  • Is it possible for an object to apply an effect to the area behind it?

    Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I'm having trouble and none of my other Illustrator-fluent friends are certain one way or the other.  I'm attempting to create some objects with a transparent look similar to the Vista "Aero Glass" effect -- basically a semitransparent object that applies a gaussian blur to everything behind it.  The only way I can currently think to do this is to create a blurred copy of the background and then use a clipping path limit the blur to the glass shapes -- but that's obviously inelegant and makes it impossible to stack the glass objects without creating a lot of extra work if anything needs changing.  Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do in a moveable, scalable vector style?

    Not that I'm aware and I think it's the wrong workflow to begin with. What you should do instead is work on the vector shapes in AI, but do the actual effect in Photoshop using smart objects and smart filters. This would keep you flexible up to the latest moment and then, when you have finalized the design, it would be easy to save a copy of the PS stuff and bring it as a background into AI, should at that point this still be required.

    How to add this type of effect in photoshop by plugin

    Well, if that's the best you can do in describing what you consider an "effect" in this image, it will take a mind reader or clairvoyant to figure it out. 
    All I see is a guy that looks a lot like the infamous sex-slave-and-women-trafficker Saban Baran, possibly wearing a rug on his usually bald shaven head.

  • How do I select a photo from the timeline to apply an effect.

    I am tryiing to select an individual photo on the timeline to apply an effect like a zoom or pan.

    I suspect your answer is for you to right click the video (your slideshow in video .psess format) now on the Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace Timeline and then select and click on "Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow" command. The command will achieve that and you should be able to move forward with your editing plans.
    The above applies if these are the details of your workflow which I believe to be the case....
    1. In the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor you put together some photos and used the Slide Show Editor's Cross Dissolve transition in the Slideshow Editor slideshow.
    2. You outputted the slideshow from the Elements Organizer 11 Slide Show Editor using the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor.
    3. When you do that you will find in Project Assets, a folder with the projects assets as well as one copy of the slideshow as a video in .psess format. There will also be a copy of the .psess video on the Timeline.
    4. When you use that route, the Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command is available to you in order for you to make additional significant edits to the slideshow before a burn to.
    If you use any of the Slide Show Editor options to create the wmv version of the slideshow (Burn to Disc or Save As A File Movie wmv), the file on the Timeline will be a whole video in wmv format. That cannot be broken apart with the Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command.
    Please review my assumptions and speculations and let us know if the answer that I provided was appropriate under the circumstances.
    If not, lots more details please.
    Thanks.

  • Working with after effects in photoshop?

    I want to edit some contents of the after effects of videos like clearning up skin or removing objects in photoshop from after effects  - how would this get done? both ar cs5 and both ar 64bit

    If you want to work on the frames of a movie in Photoshop, you have a few options. One is to render and export a composition from After Effects as an image sequence, and work on the frames as individual images in Photoshop. Another approach is tor ender and export the composition as a QuickTime movie and then import tha into Photoshop; this requires Photoshop Extended.
    These options are covered in a bit more detail in "Working with After Effects and Photoshop".

  • Hi All, I have just applied an update to Photoshop CC and now the product won't open. I get an error

  • How come I need to render EVERY TIME I apply an effect in Premiere Pro CC?

    I am using Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.2 (33) on a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac with 24GB of memory and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB graphics card. The footage I am importing is ProRes 422 1920x1080 square pixel 24 frames progressive footage.
    When I place clips onto the timeline, they play without any issue. In fact, they play beautifully! However, whenever I apply an effect, the clips needs to be rendered. Here's the biggest problem though, every effect needs to be rendered and I don't even need to change the settings of the effect. Just placing the effect on the clip causes a red line to appear above my clip.
    Help!?

    Kevin,
    They do play back. They don't become labored or jerky until I begin taxing the GPU with stacked or complex effects. John T Smith was right on about the hardware deficiency and your insight into my FCP past and red render lines completed the answer for me.
    It looks like I'm now in the market for a hardware upgrade.
    Thank you, both.

  • Dual-core or Quad-core for Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop CS4?

    We are planning to purchase around 25 computers for a computer lab for working with CS4 Production Premium at the high school level.  Mainly Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop.  Our budget is, unfortunately, a mere $550-$625 per machine (just the tower though, we have monitors).  I've already established that a 64-bit operating system makes a significant difference in the performance, even though Photoshop is the only 64-bit application, and I'm now hung up on whether or not it's worth the cost of a quad-core processor over a dual-core.
    I'm discovering the different hardware needs for each application, so I'm trying to find an economic balance that will give me the best performance per buck.  It seems that Premiere benefits significantly from more cores (we're editing 1440x1080 AVCHD), and this article over at Tom's Hardware has convinced me that I don't want to compromise with a hyperthreaded dual-core for After Effects.
    I'm also struggling with what part the graphics card plays in the mix.  Which applications lean on the graphics card, and will it make much difference as long as I meet the requirements (OpenGL 2.0, Shader Model 3.0, Direct3D 10, and 256 Mb Ram)?
    I understand I will need to settle for less-than-awesome with my budget, but I'm already making sacrifices to get the number to $625.  I would like to make sure that those sacrifices will be worth it for a quad-core system.

    I think I may have answered my own question by looking at these charts over at Tom's Hardware:
    http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-desktop-cpu-charts-update-1/Adobe-Premiere-Pro-CS4 ,1404.html
    http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-desktop-cpu-charts-update-1/Adobe-Photoshop-CS-4,1 387.html
    http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/desktop-cpu-charts-2010/Video-Editing-Adobe-After-Effec ts-CS5,2427.html
    I  think that the jump to the quad core in Premiere Pro is worth it, even if I  don't see as large of an improvement in Photoshop or After Effects.  I am still interested in the role of the graphics card in the mix if anyone can shed some light on that.  Will an integrated graphics card (like an Intel GMA x4500 or Radeon HD4200) suffice or will I need an actual graphics card to realize the benefits?
    Thanks

  • Applying One effect to several clips (not tracks!)

    i have one track with about 40 clips in it of different cut up audio. i want to apply one effect to several different clips at once. how do i do that?
    i know how to apply the one effect to one clip, but if i try and shift click four different clips, and then go to add an effect to it, the effects are grayed out
    and i really don't want to go into each clip, add an effect, adjust it and save it for every clip.
    is there an easier way?

    There are a few ways to do this. The simple way is to apply the filter to one clip. Open it into the viewer and change the parameters as you like. Select all the other clips and drag the filter name from the viewer onto the other clips. They all have the same setting.

  • Applying video effects in Premiere at the track or media level?

    Hello,
       I am trying to adjust to the Premiere workflow, coming from Vegas, and have a question regarding the application of video effects. Premiere seems to apply effects at the clip level - for example, if there is a cut in the clip, the effect is only applied to a portion of the clip. Vegas allows for the application of effects at the media level - no matter how many cuts have been made - or at the track level. Is there something comparable in Premiere? I have been trying to apply the Neat Video effect, and the only thing I can think of is to select multiple clips when applying it, but it seems to crash Premiere when I do that. Any advice on making this work would be much appreciated.
       On a related topic, does Premiere apply effects in a chain, as they are added, or does it automatically perform an reffect first if it should be applied first? In other words, does it matter in what order the effects are applied, and if so, is there a rough order of how they should be applied?

    I'm running Premiere Pro 5.5 and have been able to lasso and apply my effects to several of my clips all at once.
    Once you apply the effect and fine-tune (if need be), you can right-click and create a User Preset to help save time (say if all of your clips needed to be color corrected). The User Presets are the first folder listed in the Effects bin.
    As far as the effects order are concerned, you pretty much have to play around with those yourself. I use a Video Limiter effect with a ProcAmp and have noticed that if they aren't in a certain order (the first listed effect is the first applied...) it changes how it looks and not always for the best. Best bet is to play around and see what order of video effects works best for you.
    Good Luck!
