I don't think that's a question asked by more than one user in ten thousands...

But it's an interesting challenge.

First I have been searching exactly which effect (filter) you were asking about.

I am probably wrong, but I believe you mean the filter found in Filter >> Sketch >> Halftone Patern, with the option 'line' instead of 'dots'.

Why not rotate your image to custom value first, apply the effect, then rotate the image back?

(Image >> Rotate >> Custom...)

That's brilliant! And now I have to find out how to change the lines, like they change size with the shadows, I'll show you some examples... I'm afrais it's not possible in elements though...

In Elements there is some limited availability but it is normally the size/strength of dots that can be controlled.

Open your image in expert mode and from the menu choose:

Filter >> Pixelate >> Color Halftone

Hi Jon,

I found that, was just looking for an angle to put it in. Just got my answer, rotating the image thanks though
