WOW!!! Thank you!

Question: DO you print directly from PS? because I try to save the channels but is saveing the whole artwork.

[MentinkiZM]

@LAndreaCarvajal I print right from photoshop, yes.

MentinkiZM, great tutorial, tnx anyway, but..what if you need to separate 6 colors for completely full color, photo for example?? What about the gradient, shade?? I really need help, anyone? Is that possible?

[MentinkiZM]

@lilymarlenster I can post a video on how to do shade and gradient if people are having this much of an issue with it. Let me know.

could you do a tutorial in illustrator showing us how to seperate?

[MentinkiZM]

@Designing5 All artwork is printed on your transfer with black in anyways. You would need to tell your printer what colors you wanted regardless. How about naming the channels the color you want them? Lol
