Costume halftone shapes (instead of circles)

#1

Hey I got this idea that I want to work on, but i don’t know how to make it the way I want.

I want the same exact effect as the “Color Halftone” filter in Photoshop makes, but what I’m searching for is a way to change the traditional dots to a costume shape.

I tried other alternative solutions, like pattern overlay, in blending options. It’s close to the result I’m looking for but not the exact solution…

ex.

As you can see here the shape of the halftone effect is circles which is what I want to change, but I want the same effect with the varying sizes, and the colors.


This is the patter i want to use, but it doesn’t have the same effect with the colors, because it’s just a pattern over a a colored area. and the sizes doesn’t vary either.

The shape in this pattern is the one I want to use instead of the circles that is the stock one in Photoshop.

Thanks in advance.

I did a Google search for “half-tone dot software” and found a Photoshop plugin that seems to do the trick.

Looks decently priced too.
