I have an image now that I need to convert my colors into seperate layers. I have it in .jpg and .psd format but all my layers are by objects not by colors. There are only about 4 colors in the whole thing

so should not be too hard to do? I know there is a way to do it but I am not sure how. I want all my yellow colors on one layer, black on another, red another and then I have white as the background. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
