Filter like Mezzotint available?


Recommended Posts

You could just overlay a texture and change the blend mode.

Or to simulate mezzotint medium dots

  1. Duplicate the image layer
  2. Use the Live filters Add noise or Diffuse, pull over to the right 100%
  3. Change the blend mode to something like Overlay or vivid light to get a grittier look

To simulate the lines try increasing the contrast and adding a live filter like motion blur.

Once you have a look you like you could macro it

The Internet tells me a mezzotint is "a print made from an engraved copper or steel plate on which the surface has been partially roughened, for shading, and partially scraped smooth, giving light areas. The technique was much used in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries for the reproduction of paintings."

However, when I first heard an artist friend explaining to someone how she achieved this effect in one of her works, I thought she was saying "mess o' tint." :$

In my defense, this was at a party & alcohol was involved. :)

@firstdefence
Thanks for your hints. It is easyer to simulate the effect than to find a useful textur. I´m playing with some adjustments and settings and it works nice :)

@R C-R
I hope it was a nice party :D When i drink a bit to much, i understand sometimes somethings wrong too and and that's why I got a slapped in the face from a woman one time :4_joy:
Thanks for you explanation about mezzotint.

But it would be nice that a filter for this will be added in the Future.

Have a nice day.
Ich wünsche einen schönen Tag.
