No offense, but recently, I found a much easier way to do this. Got to gradient tool, make a black to white fade, the go filter>pixelate>color halftone, and make sure the numbers on all of the channels match. You now have a black and white halftone. To change it's color, make a new layer over it, fill it with the color you want, the make then layer "Lighter color".

animemonster1019 [2009-08-11 04:44:04 +0000 UTC]

Lovely tutorial.

The only problem I had was how to make the colors darker and to rotate the layer like in the last picture.

Other than that, I learned a lot from this! Thanks again!

how do you do the blur effect thing? cos everytime I try, the dots end up only at the top, not everywhere.

MightyLeafy In reply to tetso [2007-04-22 22:05:14 +0000 UTC]

I've explained it in the artist comment bit. But its those dots that people use for background. Much like the dots in the preview picture
