Hi all,

Haven't really done any photos on glass or acrylic but I'm gonna try both.
Been reading alot of tips for both here, but what I'm still not sure of is would you use a dithered halftone like on a marble photo or just a regular dot halftone? and if yes to dithering does one type work better over the other? (stucki, jarvis etc.). any help would be apprciated as always :o
Thanks!

I forgot to say I don't use photograve I do everything in photoshop and corel (in case that makes difference)

Halftones generally won't work well on Glass or acrylic, but it will work a 'bit' better on Acrylic.. I use photograv, it takes all the work out of it, and the money/time saved in not producing scrap is worth the price .. I don't know if it's worth the upgrade from 2 to 3 though..

I have done quite a few photos on acrylic and they turn out fantastic! Glass, not so great... I use Photograv for anything with a photo, it's invaluable to me.
