Works for me in 24.3

Did you try to reset your preferences?

Or de and re install the application?

hi! 

yes. sry, for not coming back to this earlier. turns out is a translations error. 

i've been working with the english version most of the time, but recently switched to german. 

the "grainy" dot is the "big" dot in ther german version.

thx & all the best wishes,

steffi

Same here with 27.0.

I'm trying to create this effect https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpIasSsDKgw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link and I can't see the Type options .... under Effects Mezzotint....(I suppose is Puntillista on spanish...)

Can you update?

And please show a screenshot of how the effects window looks for you.

Can you please take a screenshot from the video? It takes ages and there's no way to speed it up.

The first image is what you can do in Illustrator. This is the Illustrator forum. Don't you want to do this in Illustrator?

Uppps, my mistake. I was confused with PS and Ai... finally I can do it with AI. Thanks anyway
