Repeater halftone problem on rasters

Sorry for the confusion. In this case it's a raster image that I wanted to convert to a white screen and a gray screen with halftones. The white would not be halftoned. I wanted to see if this was possible in VS
Based on your thinking, How else would I did the separations?Just saw this last night and woke up thinking about how to approach this. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want to achieve Boldline but heres a Vid-grab of how I'd tackle this, now I've got my head around repeater: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cWbX3VjoKbr5FrhFsbnHSv4Bi_R01Dwv/view?usp=sharing
Excuse the poor video quality Vimeo won't let me upload now unless I start a PLAN (hate that word) so it's back to google drive
I have come across a few problems (maybe bugs) with the ruler guides not respecting Top-down coordinates and also the gradient mask tool flitting to the wrong place

Further to the above - thought I'd have a quick go with the ref image in the post and it all seems straight froward, although VS tracing is not as good as ImageVectorizer (which I would normally use) Really great that we can now access the symbol which is repeated in Raster work without having to create a symbol from scratch

@Dazmondo Separates great:
-
@Dazmondo For a two colour job I would prob pick out a bit of highlights and colour up White to give a touch more contrast - would probably look better with an high res pic:

@Dazmondo WOW! thank you for helping with this. I do have a slightly improved copy of the design I got from the client. I had also upscaled that image and adjusted the ppi. I was getting stuck in the repeater so I will check out the video and see how it goes - thank you for the help! this is an awesome development

No worries boss - I don't have a lot of work on at the moment, so kind of a pleasure to learn via experiment.
Here's my repeater presets if it's any help? I always tend to use Half Intense or Halftone Intensity and theres maybe a few other options thats part of these presets that I should maybe get around to ditching

@Subpath Thanks! I appreciate you digging those up. I will take a look at them in detail later today. Sometimes it helps me to see a working example and then I can reverse engineer it and learn from it to make my own creations. I appreciate your examples and tutorials and what you contribute to the forum.
These were some of the ideas I saw online that I wanted to be able to imitate with the repeater tool

Thanks too, I feel the same way; learning through reverse engineering is very helpful.
Interesting designs. I think Repeater still has a lot to offer.
What I like about it is that you can use symbols, repeat them, and still continue editing.
