Octavius .... i've mentioned the making of the dots (bolts) and thin lines (0.35 px) with Photoshop. With Photoshop you can make them, but as Fester said in a indirect way.
So is used Adobe Illusttrator to make a layer over the skin, with think 0.36 pixel lines and 0.5 pixel dots. This layer i saved in a EPS format and uses in Photoshop as the top level layer. My impression was, that i got a better result by using Illustrator and Photoshop in combination.
Another tricky issue is the correct saving procedure to avoid a loss of image quality. But thats another story.
