After trying a few different ways, including this one, I eventually hit on just the right thing:<br /><br />Open up a new file 4 pixels by 4 pixels, with a white background. Save this as a pattern. then go back to the image you want to pointillise and colour a layer in with the main colour (in my case light blue). then open blending options on that layer and select pattern overlay. Choose your point pattern and voila!<br /><br />You can experiment with the scale for different size dots but I found the default one just perfect :)L00tynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301171.post-31743574768275056542010-03-27T16:38:40.353-04:002010-03-27T16:38:40.353-04:00Very cool!

Another way maybe would be to work in two layers and partially erase the upper layer with the pointillism so that the lower layer shows through more.Cyndi Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564900810103675653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301171.post-76494370735750985872010-03-23T05:26:43.612-04:002010-03-23T05:26:43.612-04:00I work in PSE8 and there is no History Brush, but ...I work in PSE8 and there is no History Brush, but it seems to be a useful little tool.

Then you go to the History window on the right side (I keep it open right above my layers window). Check the box next to the step just before you added the pointillism filter. That will cause your brush to replace the pixels on the image with the pixels from that prior step. Cool, huh?Cyndi Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564900810103675653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301171.post-55125173767858540582010-03-22T17:01:46.201-04:002010-03-22T17:01:46.201-04:00I've never used the History Brush because I do...I've never used the History Brush because I don't understand what it is for.<br /><br />Maybe you could cover a little bit about it in a future post.<br /><br />In the meantime, I'll try this technique and see if that clarifies it for me.<br /><br />Thanks for the tips, Cyndi!Eileen The Artful Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281091759658067977noreply@blogger.com
