Thank you for replying so quickly. I am disappointed.

I will have to keep my Photoshop soft. -- my subscription for all the other software in the Adobe series will be cancelled at the end of this month... to expensive.

I am happy with Affinity Publisher... I found how to do everything I am used to do on Indesign.

thanks again

Though the photography plan is a good value, consider downloading a trial version of PhotoLine. It's perpetual licensing and can do what you want.

thank you Mike. I downloaded PhotoLine. Was able to convert into a bitmap (easily). Now, could you help find the path to get into the halftone screen, in order to adjust frequency and choose between lines and dots? That would be so useful!!! Thanks in advance.

Hi Louise,

For halftone dots, it's under the Effects | Special Tools | Rasterize. However, one can also do it with an Adjustment Layer, which is non-destructive. Found under Layer | New Adjustment Layer.

For other methods of halftoning (which I usually use), halftoning can be found under Layer | Convert Layer Type... Then choose To: Monotone and the Option for the method. I often use JJN Dither for photographic images. Be sure to view at 100% for an accurate view of the result.

@Fixx I can't - for the life of me - test the theory of exporting as 1-bit. The TIFF export is as close as it gets, but it's still only 8-bit.

I'm using 1.8.3

Thanks in advance.

TIFF export in AP does not do lower than 8-bit. If you want 1-bit export you have to use PNG or GIF. And there is some fundamental difference between 1-bit B&W and 1-bit Indexed so it may not behave as expected in layout  apps.

I am not sure what you mean by difference of 1-bit BW and 1-bit indexed.

...well, I think export options have been updated since I last checked 😄
Now you can select Black and White palette both is PNG and GIF and they both behave correctly in InDesign – i.e. you can colour background (white) and black pixels separately.
