Screen Tones and Patterns Archive

Guest - Saturday, January 21, 2006 - 16:00

We're hoping that manga punks all over the world will donate their homemade digital screen tones and patterns so that other manga punks can use them. By sharing, we all benefit. If you use these, please link back to us. That way, other poor punkers will know where to get their own tones.

Each image links to its contributor's site. Most black and white tones were created for 600dpi print output. Colored tones were designed for 300dpi output.

Black and White Tones

Color Patterns

How to use patterns and screen tones in Photoshop

1) Save the image you want to your hard drive by right clicking on it and selecting the "Save As" function. Remember where you put it.
2) Open the file in Photoshop.
3) Use ctrl+A (or cmd+A for MAC users) to select the entire image. (A marquee will show all around the edges.)
4) Go to Edit>Define Pattern.
5) Type in a name for the pattern. Click OK. Simple, huh?

Simple indeed.

But once you've defined the pattern..how do you go about applying it to stuff?

Use the "pattern stamp" tool

Use the "pattern stamp" tool or a "pattern fill" adjustment layer.

Sharing the Love!

Anime Punk Joey; Saturday, February 18, 2006 - 02:17

Are there any criteria for a "good" screen tone and a "bad" one? How do we go about offering our screentones to the archive?

To offer screentones to

Rachel the Great; Saturday, March 25, 2006 - 13:38

To offer screentones to Manga Punk: Use the contact form to send a letter letting us know what you have. If your tones are already on a server (like at photobucket, deviant art or your own site), simply include links to them. Otherwise, you will be contacted by us from an email ready to receive attachments.

A good tone: Good tones don't have any unwanted moire patterns. They should eiter be made of black and white dots or dotless grey tones. They should be made to work in one or both of two resolutions: 300dpi or 600dpi. Most amateur work is done at 300dpi, while professionals stick to 600dpi.

What if...

What if you don't use PS? Are these usable in other similar programs such as Painter?

Yes, but you'll have to

Rachel the Great; Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 22:35

Yes, but you'll have to figure out how to implement them on your own. They're just image files, so you can use them like any image files.

That means they're nearly useless to me, (at the moment anyway,) but you can't say I don't learn things here. Thanks!

I TRIED TO LOVE U BUT U WANTED MORE THAN THAT
WHAT MORE DO U WANT BESIDES RIPING

U MADE EVERYTHING SO EASY
U TOOK AWAY THE PAIN IM IN
BUT I WAS JUST A STUPID GURL TO U
I WILL NEVER LOVE AGAIN LIKE I
LOVED U
