Hello, and welcome to Creative Nerds. Today’s screencast we’ll be sharing with you how to create a halftone effect using Photoshop.
So, we want to start off by selecting D on the keyboard to set our default background and foreground color as black and white. Then where going to draw out a square in the middle of the canvas. We’re then going to right-click on that square and select Blending Options, and then select Gradient Overlay. We want the gradient we select to be from black to white, so pure black and a pure white. And then, select the OK button. OK again.
And then, we’re going to head over to Filter > Pixelate, and then we’re going to select Color Halftone. And then, it will ask us if we want to turn our square into a Smart Object or a rasterize object. We’re going to turn it into a Smart Object, and we’re going to then select max radius to be 10, and the other channels will remain as 0. And then, we’re going to select the OK button, and there you go.
