Less is more. This video explores how to prepare an image for screen printing by flattening out tonal values.
- [Instructor] Here's a technique for…creating a stylized silk screen look…using a very limited color palette.…So, I'm going to begin by…loading two color fill layers.…The first will be the background…and the second will be the shape of the building.…Solid color, and I want my background to be a hot pink.…So I'm going to put in these values for the color.…I'm applying my color in the HSB color mode.…
280 for the color angle, 31 for the saturation,…and 99 for the brightness.…I'll click okay to that.…Now, for my second color fill layer,…I'm going to come to my channels panel,…and I have this presaved alpha channel,…which I'm going to activate by…command clicking on its thumbnail.…And we can see there the active selection.…Back to my layers panel.…Once again, choose solid color,…and this time the color will be 42, 43, 87.…
Now what I want to do is use the photograph to…tease out detail,…and I want to essentially turn it into a line drawing.…I'm going to unlock the background layer…and move it above my two color fill layers.…
