those tiny dots are halftones.


on photoshop...

when you have a RGB CMYK, or Grayscale file you go to

IMAGE then go to MODE then change it to .BPM file...

a screen will pop up and from the drop down menu you choose halftone.

then you play with the settings and it will convert your design into B/W with the halftone dots

you can do halftone directly in AI, it's in the effect palette. if you need help, it is in their help menu.

Effect> Pixellate > Color Halftone...

Also, you can set the dot frequency in the print dialog, which will probably give you better results/more control.

Sell it, and use the proceeds to buy Illustrator?

(sorry, couldn't resist -- I've always felt that Corel's features were a bit lacking compared to Illustrator's)
