Hello,
I heard that it's possible to transform a photo into screentones. If so, what techniques are there??? I've looked online but having tried, it doesn't always work. Thank you very much in advance if someone responds to my expectations.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Safari 536.11

    You mean effect halftone (halftone screen)?
    You can do it on https://pixlr.com/editor/
    Choose filter/ halftone

    Or on Photoshop or GIMP, there are plenty of tutorials online.

    Here is the type of result I wish to achieve.

    The tutorials for transforming into screentones are few, and I have tried them all without success... That's why I'm reiterating my question: do you have a method to transform a photo into screentones?

    you can do roughly this on the site https://pixlr.com/editor/

    you open your image,
    adjustments/desaturation
    adjust brightness and contrast (darken your image for a better result)

    then
    filter/halftone and adjust the dot size and multiplier

    a+++

    Good evening,

    In fact, "Screentone" is just a way to create patterns (dot patterns or others). You can do it with any appropriate free or paid software. You just need to open a layer of X by X pixels (as needed http://ww12.screenshotuploader.com ) and save it as a pattern, then you fill in with the pattern you just created wherever you want in a selection or in the whole image. I often do this whether with the old version of PhotoFiltre (without layers), version 7 (with layers), GIMP, or even Photoshop...
    A quick trick just using black and white, a bit of levels, and the famous pattern: everything is filled but for the filling, you do it with the selection, the eraser, or whatever you want:

    Luke.

    The price of software is inversely proportional to its usability....

      I tried Pixlr, not bad
      but it all depends on the software you use
      there’s a halftone pattern filter in Gimp and Photoshop

      making patterns like Luke's looks good too, it's probably the method that gives you the most flexibility

      I think your image was especially processed in threshold mode before or in isohélie, it will look good if you simplify the image beforehand

      Same for the halftone screen filter.

      Then adjust your line screen and angle to achieve an optimal result based on the desired outcome.

      Just so you know, this is a screen printing technique.
