Halftone custom photoshop shape

By on November 12, 2005 in Custom Shapes, Effects, Photoshop, Tutorials

6) Go to “Filter” -> “Pixelate” -> “Color Halftone” and use these settings
Color Halftone Settings
You can Change the settings depending of the shape and the result you want to achieve

7) Hit “Ctrl-F” a few times until you are happy with what you see

You should now have something like this
Quick mask result

8) Hit “Q” again to exit Quick mask mode and go to “Select” -> “Inverse”

9) Select the paths tab and delete the path that is there. Then click on the “Make work path from selection” button (see image below)
Photoshop paths tab

10) Make sure you have the Pen tool (P) and right click on your image and Select “Define Custom Shape”

Define Custom Photoshop Shape

Give your shape a name and you have a new Halftone Photoshop shape that you can use at any time and at any size. (Don’t forget to save the new shapes you create because the next time you will reset your shapes they will be lost)

Here is my final result.
