Retro Halftone Photo Effect

The effect draws from the look of 1960s offset printing and sci-fi pulp covers. The result is stark and graphic, stripping the images down to pure tonal impact. Highlights blow out, shadows compress, and the texture carries a strong zine-like edge. The resource is best used for editorial portraits, poster art, surreal collages, gig flyers, book covers, or stylized brand content. It comes in vertical and horizontal formats, with Smart Object layers that keep editing quick and non-destructive.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
