adobe photoshop - How to achieve this dot-matrix-printed/pixelated effect?


Windows 95 setup.bmp black/white


The above image is a Windows 95 default background. I wanted to know how they achieved this effect and was wondering if it is possible in Photoshop or if I need a dot-matrix printer or maybe a graphic-design program from the 90's to replicate it.



Answer



Open a photograph in Photoshop


Do Image > Adjusments > Desaturate


Then Image > Mode > Indexed color, and use the settings shown below.



enter image description here


Note: Afterwards, you can switch back to other modes such as RGB for further editing, by using Image > Mode > RGB
