Need help separating colors in a photo for screen print

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to Photoshop but I know most of the basics. I have a design here that a band would like to print on a shirt in 2-3 colors: black, grey, and white. Technically I only need the grey and white because it is being printed on a black shirt. I need to first convert it to black/grey/white, then I need to separate the colors into layers, but I'm just not sure the correct way to do so. Could someone please help me with this? I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the design: http://i50.tinypic.com/dpk8r9.jpg

Your image is at 72ppi. Which is not recommended for print.
Anyway, coming to your actual question, this is a mixture of color tones across the image - not just one place.
If you're looking at printing it in 3 shades, why don't you consider making the image 'Greyscale' in Photoshop?
Another suggestion would be to talk to the printer who is going to print this to a t-shirt and explore possibilities.

  • Need help changing colors in a photo.

    I am trying to help some artists in mexico with their weaving. We are using elements 11 on vista 7. We would like to change colors in a piece to see if they are pleasing to the eye. Is it possible to change colors thoughout the whole piece at once? Using a brush to paint over each and every area would be so time consuming as their work is quite intricate. If this is not possible on Elements does Adobe have another sotware that would accomplish this task. Thank you for your time.

    I did not know I had to go to expert as i have never used this type of program before.The help was just telling me the tools were on the left side. I thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I have a feeling it will be easier for me to learn Chinese.

  • I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here
    I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
    And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

    I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

    Two different things
    If you forgot the password
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
    The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

  • Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my SL

    Hi...Im in needs of help in my new OS Mac World.Had my Logic Pro 9(9.0.2) install in my Snow Leopard(10.6.3).Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my Snow Leopard.Just a real basic audio interface that works with my Macbook pro Specification.You're help will be much more appreciated..
    Best Regards:RatzyMazzy

    In any case I would suggest to get an audio interface which is *Core Audio* compatible. This means that you just need to plug it in and it will work with OS X’s integrated driver. I once had an M-Audio interface which needed its own driver and it had latency problems because of them. I am currently using the EDIROL FA-66 with 10.6.3 on my MacBook Pro. It still works flawlessly and has worked without problems in the past with 10.4 and 10.5, too. Here is how it looks like: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=731
    I have also heard good things about the FireWire interfaces from Presonus, like the FireBox.

    Might check to see if you have an older version of Acrobat X installed previously under
    Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers
    If you have an uninstaller for Acrobat X try uninstalling it then installing again like you did through Creative Cloud.

  • Best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book

    Hello,
    I was wondering what would be the best way to prepare photos for iPhoto printed book on a Macbook Pro so to achieve the most realistic results to what's on the screen
    ie. which software should I use to change photos from RGB to CMYK, photoshop or iPhoto itself. I'm guessing maybe the autofix feature in iPhoto? (I don't have Aperture)
    Secondly, which monitor color setting should I set the screen at? I'm guessing it's either Apple RGB or Colour LCD, maybe even ColorMatch RGB?
    Any any other tips that people can give in achieving the most realistic results to what you have on the screen when your printed iPhoto book gets sent back. I don't want the mid tones to disappear or become too bright because the gamma and color settings were different to what they use at the other end.
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    The situation has changed a little, our original photos are in RAW format and some of them are slightly over saturated in the higher tones.
    I've read on other threads that it is a good idea to run the 'Enhance' tool on all photos before sending the iPhoto Book away.
    Since iPhoto's 'Enhance' tools seems to do a lot of helpful things like sharpen, adjust the levels, etc it also seems to notch the contrast up and this would prove destructive for the lighter and darker tones not captured by the camera's dynamic range.
    So as I've been advised it's best to use Apple's own tools before sending the iPhoto Book away, so I'm going to download the trial of Aperture.
    Does anyone have any more recommendations on which monitor colour profile setting to use etc. I've also read that iPhoto prints best from JPEGS so the RAW will obviously need changed. Will Aperture automatically save to Profile name: Camera RGB Profile after I've done some editing there?
    What would be the best way to prepare RAW images in aperture where some of them might need an Image Overlay in Photomatix then imported back to Aperture for printing an Apple/iPhoto style Book?
    Many thanks
