hello. i have been given the task of finding images to get printed onto t-shirts.
my plan is to find color images and reduce them to B and W so they can be printed with one ink color on a shirt.
i am not sure the best way to do this in photoshop.
i brought in a jpg image and changed it to greyscale. i then messed with the "levels’ a bit under the image-adjustment option-i then used "posterize" to change the image to B and W. i had to go back and mess with the levels a bit to find a fairly satisfactory setting that left a reasonable amount of detail in the now B and W image.
my question is-am i going about this wrong? are there other settings which allow me to save even more detail on my image besides simply ‘levels’. something having to do with curves maybe?
also now that my image is B and W is there a way to change the black to another color so i might be able to see what the image would look like printed in various colors?
and also…should i be using "multichannel" to change the two colors or using the duotone function rather than the posterize function? i am sorry-it is strange-i know flash and illustrator but i never learned anything but the basics of photoshop.
thank you very much for any input and advice.
