I want to produce three positive transparency (C M Y) "films" that I can lay on top of each other over a white light for demonstration purposes (to simulate the behaviour of a slide film). Obviously each film has to be printed in its own colour (Y, M, C).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need help with separating a grayscale image into dark and light channels. Specifically what I am trying to do is take a grayscale image and divide it into two (or more) channels representing the lower and upper percentages of black. I am doing this so that I can create a black and light gray spot color separation. In screen printing, the lower values of gray tend not to come out and get dropped when burning the film onto the screen. Additionally with dot gain being what it is in screen printing (30%+), it is advantagous to split the gray channel into two channels with only the upper half (50% or more black) into one channel, and the lower half (less then 50% black) into another channel. I have tried to eliminate both upper and lower halfs without altering the other half but can't figure it out. To explain another way, imagine completely elimimating 50% black or more from the histogram without altering the 49% and lower values or compressing them, and then again in reverse, keeping the 50%+ and completely eliminating the lower half.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor a long time I have been struggling to find a good workflow for what I would call "multi channel color separation". What I want is to reduce a full color RGB image into an image with only a limited number (e.g. 5-8) well-chosen colors, for instance to use as set of masks for screen print. (I'd also like to use this as an effect in itself, mimicking a typical 'screen print' or 'litho' effect on an inkjet print)
The idea is to create a set of monochrome layers or spot color channels. Colors are to be selected by myself (so not necessarily RGB or CMYK). Each channel/layer has to be a continuous tone that I transform myself into a dedicated half tone screen (e.g. with the Andromeda screen filter).
Till sofar it is clear to me. My issue is: How to separate the image in the predefined set of colors?
I can not just select a color range: I can adjust a "tolerance" but that is too general. I need the pixels of with a specific hue but with the full range of lightness (e.g. all the purple pixels that range from dark/medium purple to very light purple). The dark colors can be made dark with a black channel. I'm not sure how to deal with the saturation range.
An approach that gives sometimes a result that is to some extent acceptable is to transfer from RGB mode to an Indexed Color mode and use a custom palette. However, this does not give much control on the halftone screening process.
I envision for instance an approach of filling a layer with a solid given color, select in one way or another only those parts that correspond to the original image and subtract that layer somehow from the image. This process is then to be repeated for each color. Up till now I have not been able to figure the right options to do this. But maybe there is a better way to do it.
One final wish: it would be great if the process can take into account that some layers in the final print are (semi-)transparent. In my opinion this would exclude just selecting a color and deleting de pixels.
If I have a jpg or PSD file of a picture frame and I wanted to have the center be transparent how would I accomplish that. I have a program called PRO Show Producer that will let me put a picture in motion into the transparent window of a picture frame. I have a picture frame but the center is not transparent. I'm running Windows Vista.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two images, a picture and an overlay. The overlay is made in Photoshop using Render Clouds and the Plastic Wrap filters. I overlayed this on my picture using 50% Fill and Linear Light blend mode.
I hid the picture, and saved the overlay as a PNG-8, hoping that the variable transparency would hold. It didn't. The question is, is there a way to control levels of transparencies in a GIF or PNG?
I already know you can edit the Color Table and select different colors, or shades as it were, but there doesn't seem to be any way of implementing 50% transparency. Or really anything outside of either it is or it isn't visible.

Also having some trouble in exporting to EPS, when exporting all seems fine, but the file appears to be empty, the next exported files seems to be fine thou. First export is always empty.
I want to create objects and export them out into a JPG or PNG. My question is, can I create the artwork as a whole (multicolor/object artwork), having different objects on different layers and export all the layers to created into multiple PNG/JPG files ... with one click?
For example, when someone does screen printing on tee shirts, they have a 3 or so color graphic. I would need to export each color individually as a raster image (Export one, then export again, and again and agian blah blah blah). That would be needed to create mulitiple silk screen frames.
I am unable to save .pdf versions of color separations. I followed the tutorials (changed all colors to cmyk or spot colors, selected the printer adobe post script, changed the output to Separations (host-based), desected the colors I didn't want on the separations), but something goes wrong when I save. When I click save, I am given no option to save the separation as a .pdf. The program seems to be unable to save the separation as any sort of readable file. In the drop down box where it should provide a .pdf option, it merely says "All Files." If I save my separation using this option, then Illustrator creates a file unreadable by Acrobat Reader.
