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 !

  • Green screen effect?

    is there a way in lightroom to like erase the background. like selecting a certain color and replace it with another image? like a green screen effect? im asking for lightroom because the computers in the studio where i work uses that only from adobe

    Lightroom does not support this type of image editing or anything remotely close to it, and I very much doubt that it ever will. I suggest that you have a look at Photoshop, which is also an Adobe product, and is capable of doing what you describe.

  • Video screen effect

    Hi, was wondering if someone could help me pls! I am doing a title sequence for a charity cabaret I was involved in organising, had it filmed and now Im editing it together. Im doing it up like the Saturday Night Live titles (big fan!) I've used footage I have taken from around London of theatres etc. mucked around with them in photoshop freezeframed them taken out the original theatre signs and replaced them with either pictures or strobed video footage. Im doing one of them in Picadilly Circus, bit fiddly, I want to try and mimic the video screen effect that you get. What I mean is the small lines that make up a video screen, so it looks vaguely connected to the picture. I;ve tried some filiters, but none of them look good. Halftone kind of works but its in black and white, I want to keep it in colour. I have tried doing a texture screen but the shapes dont seem to work at all. I hope Ive explained myself well! Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

    Just came up with an idea - take the stripes generator, rotate it, put a compound blur on it and feed that with the image you want to do the line-screen with, then put a threshold on that and voilá!
    Here's a project that demonstrates...
    Is this what you had in mind?

  • New Blur effects in Photoshop Elements 11 | Learn Photoshop Elements 11 | Adobe TV

    Create sophisticated photographic blur effects in Photoshop Elements 11. In this tutorial, you'll see how to use the new Tilt-Shift Guided Edit to create a miniature effect. Then you'll learn how to refine the results with the new Refine Edge selection option in Expert mode.

    I do fine until I "Add the Layer Mask". When I go to Lens Blur afterward, the image is the same and it blurs the entire image. I followed this video exactly as it said. Anyone else having this problem?

  • 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".

    How to enable touch screen stylus in photoshop: Dell Inspiron 13: windows 8?

    You don't need to enable anything. For it to work you need a touch screen display and a pressure sensitive pen. Not a capacitive pen like those used on a iPad.
    A capacitive pen will work with the interface but not the brush tool.

  • 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

  • Using 'Screen' effect overtop of a spot color

    Hi there,
    This forum has been great to me so far and I hope it continues. I have a line drawing that I have set at 100% black (0,0,0,100). I have placed it overtop of a spot color and added the 'Screen' 100% effect to it. Unfortunately when view it in overprint preview and save a pdf print file the effect doesn't show and the entire line drawing dissapears? Looking for answers. Thank you.

    As long as it's white I don't think it'll be a problem - but the screen effect probably won't do that much anyway in this case.
    Preparing for press printing with spotcolors mixed with other colors needs planning accordingly to ensure good results - and I'm not sure where this one is ending up.
    I this case to ensure correct separation, I would just tint the spotcolor until target reached.
    Torben.

    Lighting effects in Photoshop CC doesn't work for me ... just shows ALL black .. any advice to get it to do what it is supposed to?

    So, you're totally new to computers?
    Go to the Help menu in Photoshop and select the System Info menu item.  Copy all that information and paste all of it here MINUS your serial number.
    Yes, Photoshop can delegate a lot of the computing tasks to the GPU on your graphics card.  You may have to disable that feature in Photoshop Preferences > Performance.

  • Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6?

    Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6? I am currently using a trial version.

    The last time someone reported this problem with Oil paint, the fix was to go Preferences (Ctrl k) > Performance and set the cache levels to something other than '1'.  If you cache levels were not previously set to 1 then we'll need to think again.
