Cab you use the Gradient Mesh or Warp Tool after using the plugin if it was masked to make it look like a curtain being opened? If you could that would make that effect easy. You could also use the plugin for comic style shading which would also be quick.

This is what a halftone screen does in the printing process. Because CMYK printing presses are not capable of continuous tone printing, a photographic image (or any color image) is separated into the three primary colors plus black, and a one color halftone screen of is created for each color. The screen varies the size of the dots depending on the density of the color. The screens are used to create a separate plate for C, M, Y, and K. But you knew that to begin with I am sure.
