What is filter is on the image at the bottom of this url? [http://www.antart.com.au/html/index.html](http://www.antart.com.au/html/index.html). The picture looks like it has dots on it. How are the dots put there? Can it be done in Photoshop? ---

its not a filter. You make the dot image and save it as a pattern and then use Fill on an empty layer, then lower the opacity… ---

…or the “pattern overlay” in the “add layer style” option. :s:
