How to: Create a newspaper effect on Photoshop?

And by this I do not mean an effect we do every day This effect has some uses, such  this can be used as   any cover of a newspaper, or to say that the image obtained by Fax I .will explain on  how to do it in few steps.


How to: Create a newspaper effect on Photoshop?


Step 1.


Newsprint Effect 206x300


Open the original image, whatever it is on the left.


We select all (CTRL + A) and copy (CTRL + C). Create a new document (CTRL + N) and if all goes well, the measures should be the same as the original document. At this time you need to write them down then paste the clipboard contents back into the new image (CTRL + V).


Step 2.


Newsprint Effect1 206x300


We will not use the original file, so we can close it. Then, copy, convert it to grayscale (Image> Mode> Grayscale ) If we use that effect it would look really good, we have to temporarily enlarge this image. Image> Size and we add the value of width about 500 pixels  Before we have to look good see that we check  the box that says Constrain Proportions, so the height value is automatically set.


We can also use this step to modify a bit the brightness and contrast of the image to highlight a few more targets and black image respectively.


Step 3


Newsprint Effect2 206x300


Apply the filter Filter> Pixelate> Color Halftone. We see in the properties window of the folder that the default is 8 pixels


But this value is very high for the effect you want to make. Then lower the value to the smallest possible and see that we can download it


It is for this reason that we had to enlarge the image in the 2nd step, since the value of 4 pixels is too much for a normal image size.


Apply the effect and return to give the image the size you originally had.
