Select Color
If you are new to screen printing, you may not know where to begin when it comes to getting artwork ready for printing. Separating images into colors is an important step. Luckily Photoshop makes this pretty easy. I am going to show you how in just a few easy steps.
Open your picture in Photoshop. Now select the magic wand tool in the tools panel. Use this tool to select all of one color in the image. If you need to select more than one area, hold the shift key down as you click on the picture. You will see "dancing ants" around the selected areas. If you click on the wrong area, simply press Ctrl+Z to undo the last move, or right click and select Subtract From Selection. Once you have made your selection, right click and select Layer via Copy. This will create a new layer with just the one color in it.
If you look at the layers panel now you will see two layers. Unclick the eye icon next to Layer 1 to hide the layer. You should be able to see just the color you selected left in the image. I am going to change the name of this layer to the color it contains by double clicking on the name and replacing the text.
If everything looks right, click the space where the eye icon was before to make Layer 1 reappear. Follow the steps of selecting a color and Layering via Copy again until all colors are represented in their own layers. Each time you select a new color for layering, you will need to make sure Layer 1 is active. You can tell because that layer will be highlighted in blue in the layers panel. Layer 1 needs to be active because this is where all the colors reside originally. If a different layer is active then when you try to use the magic wand tool to select a color, it will not work correctly because the color you are selecting is not present in the active layer.
Colors that have fine detail are a little more complicated than the other layers. It's a good idea to zoom in when you select small areas to make sure you don't miss anything. Also, if I use the magic wand to select small lettering like the TM next to a logo it will probably not look crisp when screen printed. Instead of selecting this area with the Magic Wand create a new layer and use the text tool to rewrite TM. Write TM in black and move the TM to the correct location on the image. Use a different color than the TM was originally written in so it is easy to see if the font is the right size, etc.
Now hide all the layers in the layers panel except the TM layer and the layer that contains the same color as you would like TM to be printed in. Right click in the layers panel and select Merge Visible. Both layers are now together in one layer.
You will need to create registration marks now so the layers are easy to line up when screen printing. Use a thin font like Arial and write the + sign in black in three corners of the image. Use a font size that is easy to see but not too thick or it will be hard to line up. The registration marks need to be far enough away from the image that they do not interfere with printing, but still close to the picture. Once you print a few logos you will get a feel for how to create and place these marks.
Now select one of the layers. In the file menu go to Image>Adjustments>Levels. The levels options window will pop up. Under Output Levels: there is a black and white bar with two arrows underneath. Click on the white arrow and drag it all the way to the left end of the bar. This will turn the layer black.
Do this with each layer until each layer is black. Now you are ready to print. You will want to print each color layer separately in black with the registration marks on each print. Good luck printing!

How do you select which color you want to be not in black & white on the "color accent" setting on a canon...?
on a canon power shot SD980 IS? My camera automattically chooses the yellows so not be in black & white but I want the reds to not be... How do you select the color?
You select the "color accent" mode and then need to point the camera so the color you want is in the middle of the screen and press a specific button. It's not usually the shutter release in this case and will vary depending on what particular Canon camera you have. If it's a modern Canon then it will tell you what to do on the screen on the rear of the camera.

Colour & The Shape (Exp)
$6.40 A major criticism of the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut was its supposed lack of passion despite the well-crafted songs and well-crafted rock. This time out, if it's wreckage you want, it's wreckage you get. The Colour and the Shape grows deeper the more it's played, with the band's ripping power is more than matched by Dave Grohl's fascinating examinations of pain and divorce. There is even a co... |
