Colour Print Dithering
It is also possible to create text with colour dithering with the filter you have just used. To do so:
- Create a new document (File > New) measuring around 500 pixels wide by 150 pixels high.
This time select the RGB colour mode. - Click on the foreground colour box in the tools palette and select a colour.
Avoid pure colours (red, green ...), and opt for a colour such as mauve, brown, etc.
- Create your text in the image.
Once again, use a fairly large, bold font.
- Select Filter > Pixelate > Colour halftone.
- In the filter dialog box, click on the Default button and enter 4 in the Max radius field.
- Click on OK to apply the filter.
