HALFTONE INSTRUCTIONS

for use with Corel Photo-Paint 11, 12, X3, or X4 SCANNING PHOTOS Image Type: Black and White Photo or Grayscale Resolution: 800 Size: To achieve the best quality halftone, scan the photo to the final size. Example: if the original photo is 3 x 5 and the final size is 5 x 7, scan photo at 165 percent. (To find the exact percentage, a proportional wheel is recommended. You can purchase them at a craft store.) Sharpness: Sharpen image if needed. Go to EFFECTS/SHARPEN. OPENING AN EXISTING FILE Open Corel Photo-Paint Click FILE, and then select OPEN. Navigate to where your file is, select the file, and click OPEN Click IMAGE Click RESAMPLE, then change the image to final size Click OKAY START THE HALFTONE PROCEDURE Option 1 (using tools) Click TOOLS Click VISUAL BASICS Click PLAY (See Figure A), go to MACROSIN Click HALFWIZ(HALFWIZ.GMS) (See Figure B) Click RUN, select the Halftone Angle and Halftone Line Screen you wish to use.

REMEMBER Making a halftone image requires good contrast between objects within the photo. Try to avoid EXTREME contrast/brightness levels. A white wedding dress or black tuxedo, for example, should both be grayed slightly in order to produce a good halftone. Half-Wiz will automatically make these adjustments, but you should check the contrast by printing on plain paper first. If you want more contrast uncheck the Contrast Enhancement box. With Rapid Mask, use a photopositive for halftones. With washout films, use a photonegative. While Letralite exposure will work, best results and resolution are achieved with a vacuum frame particularly for halftones. Ahigh pressure washer is also recommended when using washout films.
