I'm using PSE 2022 on a MAC and having a difficult time converting a photo for screen printiing. In MODE I've converted the photo to grayscale and then selected BITMAP. In the BITMAP box, my Resolution and Output both match at 300 pixels/inch. HOWEVER, when I select "Method" I do not have an option to use Halftone Screen. I need to find the settings for the screen frequency and angle. I'm lost trying to work this out. Surely someone has a workable solution! TIA

Again, I know nothing about half-tone printing, but changing the radius from 4 (the minimum value) to 8, and changing the ppi from 72 to 300 ppi gave me these 4 different results:

I know nothing about Halftone Printing, but does this help:

Thank you for the response. I used the Pixelate menu as you suggested. I'm still not finding a way to control the frequency for the mesh for screen printng. It seems to be very straight forward in PS. I'm about to decide that there isn't a workaround in Elements.
