missing rastizing photos

[pawel]

Many thanks to all who took your time to talk about my thread.
Actually what I mean is the pattern that converts the "camera photo" into the dots.
The dots in turn can be of different shapes:
- Triangle
- Circle
- Propeller
- Star
etc.

depending on how the editor wish the rasterized photography to look like.
in other way when print out should look like a newspapers or magazines
image through the magnifier or something like Egg Bramhills and gwpriesters eye images.

When I print my camera photographs on my new OKI C711WT it does no look like that not to mention
that I can not choose the rasterization pattern.

Thanks Pawel for clarifying that. Both my attachments where created in Xara. What you need to do is import a photo into Xara, select the Camera tool then select the FX tool (Live Effects) from the fly-out. This gives you the option to apply all sorts of included plug-ins. I created both mine using the Art Filter Painting plug-in.

I think the confusion came about because of the use of the word rasterisation, which normally means creating a vector graphic (or mix of vector and raster [bitmap] images) into a raster image for printing. As both Mike & Gary stated this is the function of the Printe. Illy / Corel Draw & Xaras use of plug-ins to create these dotted effects are entirely different and are for creating standalone images.
