Halftone lines

[fleur_josephine]

Hi everyone, I recently bought photoshop elements because I like to make designs for paintings. Especially the halftone line effect, but I have a question... How can I change the angle of the lines in Photoshop Elements? I can't find it anywhere... This is like the only reason I bought it for... Can someone help me please. Thank you!!!

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

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...
