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).

I was able to get the high-key, but nothing after that looked right. Ahg!

After dither, you do a very low radius blur, set layer to multiply, and then you duplicate that layer several times til the circles are bigger (forgot to mention the duplication step; sorry for the oversite).

This is an image dithered with the ximagic plug-in (8bf)

You can achieve some pretty neat results with it also. =)

Rod, I downloaded that plug-in. I use windows XP. Where would I put that plug-in? Would I put it in the gimp 2.6 plug-in folder?

Put it in your user plugins folder Molly. Also, it is a photoshop filter, so, if you don't have PSPI installed, you'll need that too.

thanks lyle. No I don't have photoshop so guess that is that.......

PSPI is a GIMP filter. It allows you to use PS filters in GIMP.

thank you lyle. I put it in my Gimp 2.6 plug-in folder. I will check it out
