QTR-Quadtone RIP

David,

I use the Andromeda "screens" filter. I notice they changed their website at the expense of a decent explanation. This link:

http://www.andromeda.com/main/screengall_screens.php

gives some idea. I guess it's the same filter as your call "mezzotint". I use it to create an aquatint-like dithering, which is noticably different than a stochastic dithering. Given the same resolution the aquatint has a coarser, but more natural/artistic feel then a stochastic dithering.

If you want stochastic dithering indeed, there are several (free) photoshop plugins that do that.
