This video shows you another way of applying tones without using the hard-to-get Powertone3 plugin for Photoshop. This time I will be using a simpler, free plugin filter for Photoshop which I listed and linked up there for you to download. It’s also from a Japanese website, but the filter comes fully in English, so it’s very simple to understand and use. It has several versions there, but the newest ones are specifically for Photoshop CS2. The version that works with my Photoshop CS3 is the 1.7 version.
Basically, all you have to do in Photoshop is apply gray tones, patterns and textures, even gradations and soft edges are permitted. I recommend keeping it simple tho… too many gradations and different gray tones in one area will “blend” once converted to halftones. The halftones are meant to be inexpensive when printing. Even though there are better printers that can print gray tones in good quality nowadays, keeping the halftones in manga is a tradition.
Once you finished applying the gray tones, it’s time to use the halftone filter. You need a basic understanding of how the halftones will look in the printed page. Screentones are not only supposed to look “dotty”; their purpose is to give the sensation of a plain gray tone using pure black ink. Sometimes the dots are too small and end up blurred in the printed page, sometimes they are too big and the gray tones are lost. Depending on the final size of the page, it’s how you will choose how many lines per inch (LPI) to use. Usually, 60-65 LPI is the standard for most mangakas (which is the one I recommend to use). Also depending on the mood/perspective of your panels, you will use several LPI tones. Practice with different LPI tones, print them and see how they look. This will help you decide the best sizes for your pages.
