Photoshop :: Convert Images To Halftone Bitmaps For Silk Screening
Aug 13, 2013
I use Photoshop to convert images to halftone bitmaps for silk screening, and have come across a new problem. I have separated my three gray scale layers, and converted the first layer (a scanned B+W image) as I normally do, without any problems.
That is: Image>Mode>Bitmap / Halftone, 600 dpi / 47 lpi, 45 degree angle.
I then try to do the same thing with the other two layers (objects drawn with the pen tool in Photoshop in black with no background). But the halftone doesn't work. When I try, the watch appears while Photoshop works, then there are the bodies on a white background. The black drawings continue to be solid as before only with somewhat pixelated edges. I have scoured the internet and haven't been able to find a relevant thread.
who uses Stochastic screening (FM) in place of standard screening (AM rosette) when printing offset. I understand the advantages of the FM screening, due to scattered dot pattern, but what I want to know is does it prevent ink offset when printing large dark colors.
I create vector drawings in Microsoft Office Visio and I need to be able to convert raster images from PDFs into vector images compatible with Visio. I've tried tracing the bitmap with various options but the line quality produced when saved to a .svg file is not adequate for our needs. Images from a PDF that are not embedded work perfectly by saving to a .svg file, but the bitmap comes in as one unusable entity. Simply put, can X6 convert embedded bitmaps from within PDFs into vector files?
I'm trying to create a smooth red silk/satin (are they the same? ) effect so that I can place a picture on top of it, so it will have a border effectamajig.
I have came up with this sample so far by using Clouds, plastic wrap, radial blur and liquify. It's close but not quite what I want.
I'm looking for more of a smooth flow. so I can put some text on it as well.
The red isn't quite dark enough either.. that much I can fix. I think
how to calm this wrinkled version down? I tried to smudge it, but lost the shine.
I need to silkscreen an image, but can only do one solid color at a time. I'll have a black t-shirt, so that's one color, then red, green, pink and silver to screen onto the shirt. I can only do a max of 4 colors on one background.

How to break this down into 5 cells of color in Photoshop (CS4)? Then I can silkscreen it.
Sometimes I have no problem doing a Print Screen then pasting it into photoshop, but MOST of the time... I do. I do a print screen and it does nothing at all when I trying to do a paste into photoshop.
It has no problem pasting the print screen into like... paint.
I need to convert color images of vehicles to monotone images. When done correctly they will look like the car has been primed in preparation for painting.
If it is possible to use a sketch to write text on sheet metal? On regular solids the emboss feature is sufficient, but I can't seem to find info on how to write on sheet metal.
Is there any way to screen parts of a drawing other than using colors? For instance Microstation can screen using fences.
Basically I have one file of line work I am referencing into my sheet file. This line work consists of around 40 streets for a construction project. I need to be able to show where each street is according to surrounding city blocks. The idea is to have the street being worked on as being bold and surrounding streets screened out. Is there any way to do this aside from making each street its own file?
I want to bring a base drawing (drawing A) into another drawing (drawing B), but have it screened (say, at 35%) so that the information overlaid onto it in drawing B (unscreened) is brighter, and darker, so that it pops out, and that drawing A appears as just a background. I want the lineweights of drawing A (assigned in the CTB file) to remain thick and thin, but just to plot with a screened value. How can that happen? So far, I have just assigned xrefed-in layers a thin lineweight, which might work, but would prefer that the xrefed-in layers retain their thickness but appear shaded. I feel like I did this years ago, but how to accomplish this.
Is there a way to screen a jpeg file in Autocad 2008 to be half toned to a lighter weight?
when i print a drawing with a jpg attached it comes out very dark and make sit impossible to see the work i have done on top of it. i have moved my work to be ON TOP of the image but the jpeg over rides my work. Is this possible?
I own Photoshop CS3 and would like to know which product could be used to acheive the following:
1. Inputs --- 4 2D images (in GIF, JPG, PNG or TIFF format) that have all 4 sides.
2. Output --- 3D model using the 4 side views and create an video animation that can be used in standard format video files.
If this requires multiple steps and products, would like to know the same. It would be nice to understand which step or product can achieve which part so that I could replace that with other products if needed.
I need to convert 1220 jpg images to black & white, a size of 36x12 mm and 240dpi.
I understand how to make an action and a droplet but the issues are;
1, How can I get Photoshop to resize the images to a width of 36 mm OR a height of 12 mm and then stretch the canvas size to the right width or height? Some images width are higher than their height (of course) and vice versa (but the converted images needs to be exactly 36x12 mm)
2, When I tried to make an action and a droplet I got dialogs all the time with questions about jpg quality or something about feather.. How can I get the droplet to just do it without asking about some of the images?
I've used Firefox to save a series of images pulled from an Adobe Flash slideshow on Flickr. Does Photoshop have the ability to convert these files to .jpg? Would it be as easy as doing a "File...Save As", or will I need to incorpotate another program? I have the Master Collection, if any of those would be required.
I once saw a Star Wars poster wich was made up of screenshots of the movie and when you looked at it from a distance you could see a character of the movie. I was wondering if there is a special technique or even better a filter to recreate this
effect :
Basicly I have an image and loads of other images And I would like the first Image to be build up of all the other images ... (infact the other images will l represent 1 BIG PIXEL of the original image ...)
anyone know can give me a action to convert color images to black or sepia?... i know you can use channel mixer but i can't seem to get it right...i guess i don't know much about color.
I am using PSE9 and just put it on our new Mac 10.8.2 from windows 7. It runs fine but things aren't quite the same. On windows if I wanted to covnert a RAW file to jpg and was in the organiser I just clicked on file, save, and selected jpg and could choose mulitple photos easily. On the mac when I am in the organiser and click on file there is no save button....is it hiding. I can do them one at a time when I'm in edit but that is a very long way about doing it. Is there an easy way to select lots of photos in the organizer and convert them to jpg from RAW?
I was given the follwoing info. but not sure it answers fully - it still doesn't resolve the problem of converting to CMYK with the icc profile. I think this might be an option if the profile is loaded into the colour setting (colour settings under edit menu as oposed to convert to profile and its convert to profile I have been trying to action. Am I missing something straightforward?
you can do batch process in Photoshop
[URL]
-There is a fast and easy method to batch convert many RGB photographs to CMYK files by using Photoshop
-Please open an image, then open the Action Tab (Window > Actions)
-Please click 'Create new action' button, name the action in the text field and click the 'Record' button.
-Now it is recording, so select 'Image > Mode > CMYK Color', then hit the 'Stop' button in the Action Tab.
-The action is now created ready for the next step.
-To batch convert a folder of images, just select 'File > Automate > Batch' and the following window opens.
-Choose the 'Convert RGB to CMYK' action from the drop-down list, choose the source folder where your images are stored, then choose a destination folder where Photoshop will save the converted images.
-Click the 'OK' button and the batch process will start. How fast will depend on the number of images that need converting.
-The action you created will be stored, so you only need to perform a new batch process the next time you need to convert a batch of images.
I have just moved over to Photoshop CS6 from Elements 10. One thing I can't work out how to do is to have PS automatically convert opened files to RGB, exactly like PSE does.
I am looking for an action or preferably a way to create one, that takes a GIF file with multiple images (=animation) and puts all images side by side and saves it.
Whenever I open a bitmap in Photoshop, the visual quality of the image is not as good is it is in ImageReady. The bitmap looks exactly right in everything but photoshop. Even ms-paint! The problem doesn't happen to Jpegs though. The effect is something like a stepping-down effect between shades(or colors?) and it ruins the entire image. (eg. a bitmap image of an apple looks like it has obvious lines of shading)
