If You're Good With Colors, Please Help!

Hello! I'm making a poster for silk-screening. Each color needs to be on a separate layer so that each color can be hand-printed one at a time. Foolishly, I did not draw the colors on separate layers. I need a layer for the white outline, a layer for the purple, and the remaining layer the black (which will just be the color of the paper for those familiar with silk-screening). Posterizing doesn't seem to work, and selecting color range doesn't seem to nail it exactly either. I would greatly appreciate any help.

I am attaching the PSD file. Please do not reproduce this image (though i don't know why anyone would!)

We have a project where the final media will have a color palette limited to 454 colors. We have a conversion from the media's color selection to RGB. So, from an XML file I created a CSV file, meaning I have both if necessary, of 454 colors with a name and their RGB values.


I need to create a color library so that I can put an image in photoshop and then change it to indexed color so that it ONLY uses these 454 colors.


Is there a way to convert or compile my csv/xml file to a photoshop ACT file? I feel like there must be. I do *not* want to enter 454 colors by hand.


Thanks so much for any advice. Attached is a screenshot for reference.

Hi,

Today I saw a picture that looks different on black background and on white. There is an example attached. Does anybody knows how to do this? I found an explanation on the link below, but doesn't worked for me (when I create the subtract layer, it doesn't result on a transparency layer):

graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/9088/image-that-looks-different-on-black-background-and-on-white

All I know is that the final image must be a PNG file, with transparency on it... But don't know how to merge the two images to get the effect of different images depending on the background color (black or white).

Can anybody help me to understand that effect?

Hello... i am looking for a little help trying to figure out a design element i am trying to achieve... i found these sports posters on the internet and want to recreate one with images of my son playing baseball... I have MOST of the posters done, however i cannot figure out how to do the BLENDED background.. specifically the red, yellow orange faded blend... can anyone help please??? thanks in advance... Dave

heres a screen shot of the poster i am trying to replicate.... I am NOT looking to do this for profit... simply for my own personal use for my son...



the results do not have to be exact... i am looking for the technique used to create the background...

I already contacted them to ask how they did it, but obviously they wouldn't tell me... so here i am looking for someone that maybe can help... thanks again...

So, I know how to make an item white, when it has another color, but now I want to make it black, and I can't get it done, so frustrating...
Does anybody have the golden tip how to do this?

Hi All,

I have an question regarding the indexing of colors I have not found an answer to online. I have a set of 400 indexed colors that are real life, profiled paint colors I use. I would like to simplify images to (e.g. the mona lisa). To say 20 colors, or any custom number i choose.

The limit with indexed photoshop colors seems to be 256, this means when i import my custom 400 color pallet, only the first 256 appear in the custom color table and the images miss many of the necessary colors to make the image seem balanced.

Is there an additional tool / program to get around this? Is there a script that could be written? If help is beyond a quick answer, but can be achieved, I am happy to pay for time.

Note: I cannot reduce my pallet to 256, as it will not produce enough variation and detail, dithering of any kind is also not an option.

Thanks in advance

See attached image for reference. I'm trying to remove the black from a full color smart object illustration so then I can have another layer which has just black part so I can offset it and have its own texture to it. I need this to be non-destructive so that it can be used with any illustration. When I use the blending option sliders I'm left with a thin black like around the edge of the black. If I move the sliders any further the blue starts to disappear.

Hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you need any more info.

I have a load of images that I have been given by a manufacturer, some have white backgrounds and are great. Others, have a black background..and are not great. I am needing to edit these black background images to be like the white background images.

You'll notice for the product (attached images) that there is packaging immediately around the yellow string. It's this bit that I am finding incredibly hard to change from the blackish colour to the whitish colour, shown in the picture with the white background.

Does anyone have any ideas please how I can change this black area to be like the 'good' photo? Any help is greatly appreciated.
