Color Halftone Template

With the Color Halftone Template for Photoshop you can instantly emulate the halftone effect used on newspapers and old press machines. Perfect to transform your pictures and designs into an authentic vintage and retro press style easily by replacing one single Smart Object. All of the effects are applied automatically, and all you have to do is replace the Smart Object with your own image.

After updating the Smart Object, you can turn on/off the different adjustment layers to achieve new effects, and thanks to the smart filters used you can edit the size and angle of the halftone or simple enable or disable the additional included filters to achieve a new effect. The included PSD file has a resolution of 150dpi with a dimension of 3000 x 2000 px.
