Hi. Is there a way in Photoshop CS3 to convert a raster image (photo) into a pointillism style image? I see these black and white graphics of prominent people in the Wall Street Journal whose images are made up of tiny dots -- very artistic. How is this done? Thanks.

How far down the list of filters did you look? Did you stop before you got to... erm...
Pointillize?
;-)

If that isn't what you're looking for, try converting to Greyscale and then Bitmap in Image > Mode. Then select Halftone Screen with a pattern you fancy.

Thanks, John. That's exactly what I needed :)

Glad to help.
(And I don't even read the Wall Street Journal. B) )

The pictures in the WSJ are done by hand, with pen and ink.

That's a very interesting article Danny, but I don't think Alex will be spending 5 hours doing each one by hand!
Afterthought: Even if he had the artistic skills and materials!
