Abstract

Example implementations relate to halftone image creation. An example non-transitory machine-readable medium can include instructions executable to determine a highlight core shape and a shadow core shape of a microcell within a supercell. The instructions can be executable to determine growth sequences for a plurality of pixels within the highlight core and the shadow core and between the microcell and other microcells within the supercell, divide each of the plurality of pixels into a plurality of subpixels, and create a halftone image for an unequal resolution printing device using a constrained direct binary search model and based on the highlight core shape, shadow core shape, growth sequences, and the plurality of subpixels.
