Halftone
Method #
This node applies a half-tone effect, where the image is separated into small circles and resized depending on the brightness in that area.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Active

Changes the opacity of the new effect over the original image.
Blend Mode (RGB)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image RGB.
Blend Mode (Alpha)
Change how the generated effect blends with the parent image alpha.
Affected Channels

Edit the colour of the tint.
Background Colour
Set the background colour outside of the halftone.
Max Point Size
Size of largest points in the effect.
Point Scale
Scale size of all points.
Rotation Randomness
How random the rotation of each point is.
