In alt.graphics.photoshop, Dennis Hughes ordered an army of hamsters to type:
I find the Filter>Sketch>Halftone Pattern>Line, but don’t know how to implement this.
I have an active selected area on a new layer I want to put the lines in. When I go to the filter, I receive an error message that says the area is empty. (it is) I added one line with the brush at one px and go back to the filter, don’t receive the error message, but don’t know where to go from here.
Obviously I’m new to filters.
Thanks,
Dennis
as edjh said there are numerous ways do do the lines. The filter method does require a layer to something in it to filter.
If you want to make every other line transparent then you could make a new layer, fill it then do the pattern seleting every other line (by select>colour range rather than click click click -_-;) and remove them. Alternatively you could define a pattern with, say a 1×2 pixel image the top pixel being filled and the bottom a transparency and fill a layer with the pattern.
does that help any?
