mimic offset press

[pablo74]

Hello,

I want the pictures I've taken to look like I scanned a newspaper or magazine and enlarged them considerably. In essence, I want the photos to have the small circles and dots characteristic of the offset press printing process. Can you help?

Filter > pixelate > color halftone

Is that what you meant?

Yes, That's it. Thank you very much.

For future reference, those are called "halftone rosettes"

Another thing you can do to add to that "newspaper" look is offset your channels from each other a bit. This makes it look like the printer didn't quite line things up during printing, and looks kinda cool.
