This video will begin to show the techniques and capabilities of using the tessellator pattern layers and blending methods with the "Blend If" options of a layer's properties in Adobe Photoshop to be able to make transparency separations of the greyscale image and convert some values into one pattern and other values into a different pattern, LPI, angle, or more.
You can convert the original layer you're working with into a smart object and then the duplicates will update when you change the original. The HYBRID-RIP files are included with the purchase of the $5 Pattern Pack 1, but this video is teaching how to build it yourself using the free patterns or others.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next video about this technique, as I will show that it opens up entirely new possibilities for working with FM patterns in high resolutions and changing their angles, and creating full-color fully-interlocking HYBRID-RIP tessellations or separations, and how to add more colors and then merge them down and extract them for printing. The HYBRID-RIP method does not always work well on some images and to keep some gradients smoother, but the power of doing it with this technique is now we can go in and see where it works and where it fails, and perhaps modify the halftoning patterns and methods in intelligent and automated ways for various types of images and situations. I have tried many different approaches to getting index style diffusion separations from photoshop and attempting to make diamond or rotated-square index separations, but this technique and using some blue-noise 256-pixel patterns has yielded some amazing capabilities, rotating the patterns in real-time and being able to pick and choose different areas of the image to process, as well as set the angle and FM dot size to match, the possibilities for both artistic and professional purposes are really making me excited at this new method and how it can be applied. So much more to come!
