Modern Halftone Photoshop Action

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

• Your photo is in RGB color mode
• Your photo is in 8bit color mode
• You are running the English version of Photoshop
• If you are experiencing errors, try resetting your Photoshop preferences. (To do this, hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys ( Mac: Command + K ) while starting Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking your permission to delete the preferences/settings file).
• Avoid using small resolution images. For the best results, use photos between 2000px – 5000px (min resolution: 72dpi) high/wide. Chances of the action running into errors will increase for lower resolution (under 1000px high/wide). Photos with good color variation and contrast will work best.
