Dutch ..... Wordt gebruikt om een afbeelding te beschrijven, of om het effect ervan zelf aan te duiden, wanneer de afbeelding is gefotografeerd door een scherm met een fijn patroon, waardoor het wordt verdeeld in kleine stippen of andere vormen. Dit maakt het mogelijk dat er van platen of blokken wordt gedrukt wanner de afbeelding gebieden met verschillende kleurschakeringen bevat. |
Spanish ..... Úsese para describir una imagen, o para denotar el propio efecto, cuando la imagen ha sido fotografiada a través de una pantalla con un modelo fino, irrumpiendo en pequeños puntos u otras firmas. Esto permite imprimir desde placas o bloques de una imagen que contiene áreas tonales. |
