How do I add registration marks to my Images?

[jammintosh]

thanks for the video the only thing I don't get is how are you getting those lighter shades of color with one spot color are you converting to halftones at the end?, as I don't get how you would burn to screen with that grey color as its not opaque enough for film

[godinez011]

how did you open freehands wich version photoshop[

[SpanishJesus]

dude, you're making that waaaaay more complicated than it has to be.

[ScreenersChoice]

The great thing about YouTube is you can upload a how to video of your own, showing me an easier way! Someone already commented on an easier method of selecting and I thanked them because I learned something new. Show me the same courtesy of demonstrating or telling me how to make it easier, and once I learn it, I'll thank you just the same. ;)

You got that right! Sooo much easier to use the magic wand to seperate the color channels!!!

[josephknightcom]

@jaredef easier? yes. less accurate? also yes.

[b2ball]

yea...cause I'm lost.

[stiggy12]

Can you do a example of separation with a whitebase and halftone for screenprinting...Nice clip

Check out my videos for explanations of the screen printing process. Questions welcome.

How would i take a color image like this one and separate each color into layers so i could screen print it.

[ScreenersChoice]

If you mean this image above, then that is exactly what I'm doing. I am creating separate channels with individual spot colors. When I go to print, I choose print, then the separations tab and then turn off any additional colors other than my spot colors. This will print individual spot colors on separate films.

too complicated...

[ScreenersChoice]

It may appear too complicated, but that's the problem, imo, with using Photoshop for Screen printing. Either way, this is one of the simplest ways of doing this and getting accurate separations....

[nondragonous]

That may be, but this certainly a tutorial for any sort of novice. You would have to know quite a bit about the screen printing process to understand most of what's going on here.

[nondragonous]

not a tutorial for any sort of novice, i meant

[crispian2005]

why not select with the magic wand then go to select similar.

[ScreenersChoice]

Good tip, thanks!

[kenntrinidad]

heatpress sucks, the design on the t-shirt cracks after a while of use. stick to screen printed tees.
