      By the way, you can also control the halftone grid
      with a simple color gradient.

      @Subpath Ok - thanks for explaining the steps. I initially was not sure when you mentioned being able to control the halftone grid, if this was something inside VS or you were elaborating on the Halftone generator from Adobe. I get it now.

        Found another Trick, this time with blurred Text.
        This Tip whas originaly from a Inkscape Video
        but i decide to try it with Affinity Designer.
        ( for the Video look at my Post below )

        1. Type Text in Affinity Designer
          convert it to Curves.

        2. Put a Gaussian Blur Effect over the Text
          and export it as .PNG.

        3. Upload the .PNG File to the Halftone Generator
          and play with Shapes and Shape Distance.

        4. Download and save the Result as .SVG

        Here my Examples

            You guys do know that VectorStyler has plenty of effects, including Gaussian Blur? Not really needed to prepare the image for Vectoraster in another app β€” just…

            • write the text in VS with the Text tool (shortcut: T);
            • apply the effect (Effects menu > Blur > Gaussian Blur);
            • with the text still selected, choose File > Export;
            • choose 'Selected Objects' from the 'Source' menu;
            • choose PNG from the Format menu;
            • click 'OK' to export.

            Then upload the generated image to the online Halftone Generator, or import it in Vectoraster.

              Yes, I know that, so I don't really need that explanation.
              But i choose for my Example to go with Affinity Designer
              for different Reasons to make this post.

              But thank you for your Info.

                  @Subpath I appreciate the tips and ideas and want to see more of them for sure. I am glad that you are sharing them and I am going to try that one out. I own AD as well and it's nice to have options.
                  I do agree with @b77 that tips and tutorials on the VS forum should prioritize using VS as much as possible to achieve the result or if not, be an workaround to something VS lacks.
                  My excitement about a tips section inside the VS forum would be to better explore and use VS. That said, I wouldn't mind if you mentioned in the tip that the task could also be accomplished in Designer, etc.

                    As I said above, I used Affinity Designer only to create this post.
                    Ok, I could have mentioned this can also be done in VS or vice versa.

                    My intention was only to show the method. No matter what
                    program you then use to achieve these effects

                          @Subpath Repeaters in 1.1.002 can be used to create many of these halftone types.
