Vectoraster is a graphics utility for creating vector-based raster patterns and halftones based on bitmap images.
The raster patterns and point shapes can be freely configured to produce different styles. The resulting rasters can then either be exported as vectors to EPS or PDF files, as images to JPEG, PNG, or TIFF, or simply copied into most graphics software. With the batch processing tool you can also easily apply rasters to frames in a movie to use the effects in animation. Basic halftones demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7gb19soxBo

What's New
Version 6.0.5:
- Fixed a bug where pasting in vector graphics in the source image well would result in a blank raster.
- Vector images used as source images are now instead rasterized automatically and work just like bitmap images.
Requirements
- Intel, 64-bit processor
- OS X 10.7.5 or later

Features:
- Many different point shape types, from circles to polygons or custom shapes from imported EPS-files.
- Use characters as point shapes from any installed font, using a specified text to select the characters.
- Outline mode, where points are outlined, and you have to option to vary the point outline with point weight.
- Set raster point color or use color from the primary or secondary source image.
- Vary different parameters such as size, point aspect or shape contraction with the point weight to get different effects.Patterns
- Six configurable raster pattern types, including alternating grid, radial and varied density distribution.
- Four raster distortion modes to twist, bulge, wave or split the raster pattern.
- Easily rotate and offset the raster pattern.Output
- Copy raster curves straight into most other vector graphics software.
- Vector export to EPS and PDF.
- Bitmap image export to JPEG, PNG and TIFF.
- Batch processing to apply rasters directly to all images in a directory or to frames in a quicktime movie file.

The fact that this author provides a demo (with restrictions on the image, understandably) went a long way toward enabling me to determine who is going to get my money! Thanks, developer!

Its simply an amazing tool.
The Darwin image in the video displays what I'm talking about. I could probably break Darwin up into "sections" manually and do a wavy pattern for his hair, a wavy pattern for each eye and cheek and then assemble each section together to make an amazing composition.
Looking forward to more upgrades!

I just tried to export a .eps-file and open it in Illustrator but with no luck (CS5 and CS6 both hang and beachball). Opening the same file as .pdf is no problem. Please fix, thanks!

It's not only fun, fast, and clean, but I can see some really great applications for the generated imagery. What a pleasant surprise.

I didn't find a word about the secondary image or the meaning of the various settings which are really little intuitive (to obtain lines you must set polygon of six edges and proper sizes!
Some info may be deducted only from the screenshots in authors site, but using it is still enigmatic.
The Display window sometimes disappears.
To PETER: it can open jpeg files, they must be dropped NOT in the big grey window but into the little "image well" on top right.

Rather than we users loosening our security settings, is it a problem to become an "identified developer"? (Not necessarily Mac store, which I know is a hassle.) I hope it isn't costly to you to be "identified"...
Great idea for an app, and I'm looking forward to creating with it.
