tripperfunsterI'm entering a t-shirt design contest, and the rules (or rather, tech guidlines) are thus:
Use Pantone Solid Coated color swatches for your design or else we will have to convert your colors
Maximum of 6 spot colors
Gradients & Halftones:
Photoshop users, make certain that your halftones are 30 LPI or larger for a full-size design at 300 DPI.
What does that mean? I plan to ink my design (traditional media) then upload it and colour it in photoshop. Is there anything I need to do to make sure I stay within these parameters??
thanks in advance!

Date: 2011-08-18 05:20 am (UTC)Is there a way to 'convert' a hand drawn/coloured file to a simpler, say 6 colour file? And to have each colour on it's own layer?
Say, like http://pics.livejournal.com/tripperfunster/pic/001r5k7t/ this pic? (I don't need to convert this specific pic, but it's indicative of my colouring style, and might be a good one to practice on.
Now, if it will take a kazillion steps, then meh, nevermind. But if it is relatively simple (say 10 or 15 steps,) I'd be interested.
In photoshop.
Your other advice has already been most helpful!! Thanks.
