Greetings from the inner-
city, high-humidity, ass
and titty bar.
I have a color picture of a friend that I would like to convert to a picture using dots of four different sizes on a set grid. The eventual goal is to drill the holes into wood as a portrait. Posting from my phone otherwise I would link to the imgur post where a guy did a similar project with a map of the world.

Any ideas on how to get the pic to dot form?

edit: Here is the imgur project. http://imgur.com/gallery/8iOvx

AH! Here's a perfect example. Anyone know how I could convert a photo to this?


And it looks like with a bit more digging on my own, there's a website call the rasterbator that will do it all for me. Thanks anyway.

You can do it in Photoshop with the Color Halftone filter, just set all the channel screen angle fields to 0.

People find it difficult to resist your persuasive manner.
I used to have a program called the "Rasterbator" and it would do that to chop an image over multiple pages. Idk if it's still around.

e. http://rasterbator.net/ I believe there used to be an older downloadable version.

Another cool way is to set a greyscale image's blending mode to 'hard mix' and put it above a field of evenly-spaced, slightly blurred dots in your layer stack.
