•     The Max Chroma Photo-Tessellator is the latest development in the techniques shown in some of the other videos and products such as the Halftone Tessellator and interlocking methods.  The all new 2022 release of this digital download product now includes a full-featured smart-object file along with specific Adobe Photoshop patterns and image files, as well as many action files and other powerful tools! 
•     You can now take an original image or graphic and start converting it into all sorts of tessellations or halftones or diffusions, choosing multiple levels of color-divisions and changing the scale and size of the patterns non-destructively.  Using some methods available in the latest versions of Photoshop you can now rotate the patterns directly, or use the smart-object and merged-layer methods to rotate the patterns in older versions.  These capabilities and possibilities provided in these files are extraordinary and you can do some amazing effects and even convert images into color separations and halftone extractions that can be printed with accurate and precise results. 
•      It is highly recommended and almost required that you have a very powerful computer system that has upwards of 32gb of RAM and a dedicated high end graphics card, as well as a multi-core CPU.  Some of these methods will allow you to control the patterns, the dot types, angles, sizes and combinations and blends of colors.   Please watch the tutorial videos to see how you can use these effects and files to achieve some amazing results yourself.  You can take full halftone patterns and overlay them on your graphic and even make adjustments to the graphics keeping the original intact, or manipulate the entire pattern overlay and create custom unique effects that are hard to achieve in any other way. 
•      There is a main Photo-Tessellator action which now includes the combination of some never-before-shown techniques that can make any image turn into just a few colors using any of the patterns included or any pattern you want to use.  By using some of photoshop's color conversion methods, we can now convert an image directly into fully interlocking halftone patterns while keeping the color count under direct control and even choosing custom colors automatically or by hand.  This is the closest to an automated color separation technique with custom-color capability and halftone-interlocking control that I have discovered so far while attempting to achieve some of these precision-oriented color-separation and halftone-conversion goals.  The other capabilities like altering the entire pattern overlay or using new types of halftone shapes, rotated index or diffusion or noise-based dithering, hybrid-patterns, custom-built patterns and the real-time methods or smart-object files are all even more of an exponential increase in possibilities, but especially the automated "Index-to-Halftone" methods now included in the Photo-Tessellator 2022 really do seem like the best approach I've seen yet to accomplishing some of the most challenging color separations, but are still not entirely a perfect approach and some types of images would still work best under some of the other styles of tessellation included in the 2022 Master Pack. 
•      The Photo-Tessellator 1.8.0 actions now include a version that works with Photoshop CS6 and CC v14! 
•      Be warned, this stuff is insanely powerful, but it is mostly a combination of image-processing steps that may take a very skilled professional to be used in any other way besides as a graphics effect.  I will show in some videos how I use things like this file and effects and others to achieve professional printing results of graphics, but it is not something that just happens automatically from using the tools, files, and actions.  I will take the files or actions and then craft special adjustments and manipulations to the original graphics if I am building a printing-separation type of file.  Even with the more automated Photo-Tessellator 2022 action set, you may need to generate registration marks with other action files I have available for free, and enter certain color values or names, as well as recolor the tessellations to positive separations manually, before they would be ready to print out for use in something like printing films, plates or screens.  I want the user who purchases these products to know my intentions and to have some sense of expectations to what the product will do and what it won't do automatically.  Please watch some of my videos and you may see that for the price of the product, it is a hidden treasure - if you know how to control it in certain ways, you can definitely use it in some extremely professional capacities and achieve results that are almost impossible to achieve in other ways, which is why I pursue these developments and why I use them myself... but I don't assume others will always be able to use them the same way as I do and achieve the same results. 
•      I hope you can start off on the path of trying out these techniques and see if you can put them to use, but the primary purpose of these tools is as graphics effects and color manipulation tools, not as fully-automated end-use programs that perform very specific functions for any specific industries.
