What's the best way to create gradient halftones in photoshop/illustrator?
I've watched quite a few tutorials on youtube of how to create gradients in illustrator, but when I go to do it, I'm not very impressed with the results as "Image Trace" doesn't create the nice round gradient pattern.
So then I started researching how to do it in photoshop (which I know absolutely nothing about, but I'm trying to learn), I can get it to do a real nice gradient halftone text which looks really good, but then it changes it, or condenses it all into the "background layer" and locks it.
I'm sure it's something easy that I'm just not getting, or don't know about. Everything I've learned with illustrator or photoshop has been through youtube, online reading, or just goofing around in the programs themselves.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Joe
