I love the effect and I love stippling! I would love to get a true stippled look. These are my stippled peanuts, hand stippled (dotted) when I was in college. It took about 3 weeks to do and is made up of approximately 3000 dots. I restarted several times until I got the look I wanted. I still have some of my older attempts. The original hand stippled image is poster size!

SO it is greyscale dithering, not B&W dithering?

Thanks for the tut, mahv. My stippling doesn't show a lot but it is there and I like the look.

Original image here.

It also looks nice with the original image set to grain merge over the results.

Hey 'O'! That is awesome!!

@RobA: Under G'MIC its the B&W Dithering option under Colors menu.

@O: that's pretty darn impressive.

Thanks guys. I like all of the ones you have done. In particular, I loved seeing the pictures of yourselves done that way. Totally way cool.

Thank you for the tute Mahvin.
I did my nephew and family.

Every image is awesome! I'm still working on finding other stippling methods, too.

Very nice, Molly.

This is an image of a supposed UFO and the moon but it looks like the UFO was painted in to me. See original image here.

I like the moon like that.

Actually the space ship was real! That was where I parked it!

The sad thing is that my son would be the one to write the ticket!

Bigger dots.

Highkeyed, dithered, dup, blur with 0.2 radius and multiplied that result. flattened, and repeated. Final subtle cleaning with Photocomix smoothing. Just wish I could get Accord's program to work (new ImageMagic incompatible with his program, and, for some reason, the old version partially works and then crashes; not sure if it's a VM issue).

WOW!!! That is excellent, Lyle. Makes me feel a bit dotty.

Thanks for the comments, but how about squares too. lol

@Lyle: I don't understand your instructions, like highkeyed, etc. Sounds like you are doing this in some other program. Could you clarify, please?

I love the results, just wish there was a program/plug-in that could randomize (voronoi, for example) on dot size according to black thickness. Secord's results do this, but how I wish someone would take that and run with it. It seems like the thing we are all looking for, lol.

I'm trying to figure it out too.

I shouldn't have called it Highkey. I created a solid white fill layer set to 90% Opacity and the a copy of the original on top layer set to burn.

Somebody has, but you have to email him and he may share his code (I haven't yet).
