In just a few minutes you can create a halftone border in Photoshop.
April/May 2006
1. In Photoshop,
choose the image
you’d like to apply the
effect to. It’s a good
idea to have extra
canvas space. Select
Image > Canvas Size
and add about 1 inch
to each side.
2. Using the Marquis
tool, select part of the
image. For this image,
we chose to use the
Elliptical Marquis tool,
but you can choose
any shape. Choose
Select > Inverse.
3. Double-click the
Edit in Quick Mask
Mode icon in the toolbar.
Make sure Masked
Areas is selected to
turn the selection red.
4. You are now ready
to apply the filter.
Select Filter > Pixelate
> Color Halftone. Use
the settings shown for
our 300 dpi image or
experiment with your
own. Press OK.
5. Press Q on your
keyboard to disable
the Quick Mask. Press
Delete to remove
your background.
