Sullyman Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 For the halftone adjustment/filter, what is the cell size in reference to? When comparing against the frequency setting in Photoshop, is there somewhere I can find this to have a better understanding of what the cell size measurement is?

Staff stokerg Posted January 29, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi Sullyman, This is in the Help File: Cell Size—dictates the size of each individual dot, line or circle that makes up the continuous tone. From checking with QA they have stated the following: A Cell Size of 15 would be 15 squared (15px x 15px) and the halftone dot will not exceed this. So if you placed a 15px x 15px shape over the halftone dot, the dot will never go past its boundaries (see attached screenshot). Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sullyman Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Ok so if I have this right, I should be able to calculate the line and frequency then by taking my document resolution and dividing by the amount of dots I'd like in a given line and that would give me the "cell size" or pixel radius of the dots. ie: 1200ppi/dpi / 55lpi(lines per inch) = 21.8 = 22 (Rounded to nearest whole number) That would give me 55 dots at a 22 pixel radius within a given line of halftone. Good to know and thank you for the insight @stokerg Quote My portfolio | Youtube Channel: Pixel Moshpit | Email: john@johndrawsfor.me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
