Hello again...

I am trying to find out what kind of effect this is. I don't know if the grain texture was used or if a different texture was used. Everything else I can handle. Thanks!

To me it looks like the crosshatch filter blended against a low opacity pattern that covers every 2nd pixel.

I'll try that... Thanks

The crosshatch filter didn't look the same so...

I was told something of an x and o pattern from someone on a different forum. I don't know yet because I haven't tried it yet

The x is transparent and the o is white on a 2x2 canvas. How would I draw this out if the x is transparent?

It was like i said, i tested it just to prove myself right however it requires some major tweaking and about 7 other layers of various kinds to get this result (total of 19 layers), i sugiest you maby wannt to start out with something more basic if you are new to photoshop coz id have to type out 2000 words and 70 images to get this into a step by step tutorial.
And... i wont .... basicly.

The x pattern however is simple enough, make a new document 2x2 pixles. and in that document zoom in to 1600% and fill two pixles on the diagonal using the rectangular marquee tool (marching ants). Then go under edit and define pattern. then in a layer you can go under edit<fill and use this pattern.

my result

I'm not new by all means to Photoshop. Just don't have a lot of time to mess around with it but yeah, I am not asking you to do the work or write a tutorial. Create something easier, huh? I like to challenge myself and this is a challenge. Your answer doesn't really help me so if you don't mind, can someone explain what filters are involved besides crosshatch? I am on a timeframe to get my site done and this is slowing me up....

Id sugiest if you dont know how to do something you shouldnt give a timeframe for how long learning it will take and then making but hey, thats up to you. In any case the only filter that is involved is the crosshatch! Other tequnices that are involved: Pattern overlay, threshold, colourbalance, levels, contrast, colour range selection, hue/saturation, brushing(grunge) channels shape smoothing by levels and blur, masking, layer blending, transforming, repossisioning.

Basic outline would be: Desaturated image monoresaturated and applied the crosshatch filter on, blended against a pattern overlay tweaked by levels, contrast and adjustmentlayers. Masked where approperiate then have highlights tweaked and colours tweaked. Then had its threshold whitespace copied and transformed to where approperiate and finaly layers of brushing applied on top and where approperiate underneath.

Does that help?

Sweetie, do not give me suggestions on a timeframe. Some people learn quicker than others. Anyway, so that you know, if you zoom in on that photo, it really isn't the crosshatch filter yet checkerboard. I'm not going to go back and forth. Thanks for the input and may you not be so lazy to help a person out next time. Peace!

Nole that person tried to help you as much as they could... I don't think alot of what you've said is fair, anyway were not hear to flame. Sorry you didn't get the answer you was looking for, but atleast he tried to give you an asnwer. Just a tip if you went round like that I doubt you'd get much help anyway.

& no I don't have the answer, I think you were just abit unfair on Dance.

Posts like that makes me sad, i tried to push you into the right direction even though i couldnt give you a complete tutorial on the effect. What else i can do however is to give you this psd containing the effect that might give you a better understanding.

We deal with sugiestions, feedback, critesism and man to man helping out here. Posts like that makes it feel worthless to try helping people out.

Rich,

I am not going to argue on here because it is pointless but I am entitled to my opinion. I did feel like he/she was being lazy but hey, I did get a clearer picture of what to do somewhere else without a tutorial. So that last little unappreciated comment about me not getting much help is obviously not true. I had NO problems and they did help as much as they could with more than one person answering and giving examples. Anyway, I understand what you are trying to say but everyone can say what they want, right? I rarely ever come to get help because I do search for my answer but this was something a little complicated. Anyway, this will be my last reply so have a great night

Dance,
Thanks! Sorry if you feel that way.

Now now guys... get along

As for the effect.. .looks like pointilism with a noise filter... at least that how I'd do it in Photopaint
