Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Hey Everybody,I got a little question which is probably a no brainer. How do I get rid of halftone dots in my plate that have values less than 10%? I tried the white point eye dropper tool in levels and curves, but it seems to set the white point and there are still lower percentages around that white point. It is for a glow effect where it fades out to the shirt. If you guys could help me with this I would really appreciate it. Thanks,Adrian

I would try setting your wand tolerance for 5% and clicking on 5%. I think this might give you a rather jaggy edge though.You could also try selecting the area and using the curve tool. lock it in at 10 and move the left slider to the right until they dissapear (you might have to lock in at 12-13 and lock the rest of the curve down in few places.Hopefully one of the experts chimes in. . .pierre
Why get rid of them anyways? Just develope as many of the dots as you can. Plus I would think you should be holding less than 10% dots anyways.
