Engine44 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I would like to know if the following is possible: Every photo is composed of numerous colors. I would like to separate a photo into say 10 layers. Each layer would contain certain colors ( reds, blues, yellows, etc,). With all layers on, you would have the complete photo. With only 1 layer on, you would have only reds showing for example. Can this be done and do you have any tips to make the process easier? Thanks.

toltec Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I assume you are using Photo, forget it in Designer. The answer is: Yes, it is possible but then, it is possible to climb Mount Everest without oxygen I used to do that in Photoshop for T shirt printing, where RGB (or CMYK) images were printed using 10 or 12 spot colours, when four colour process could not be used. Like on a red shirt. I did that using channels, but you can't do that in Affinity (no proper channel support) and I certainly wouldn't tackle it with an iPad. If you just want it for a screen image (not output as solid colours for printing) you could use 'select sampled colours' and create a layer from each colour. The problem is, you will get a lot of overlap, or missing bits, so it will take you a long time. It will also be almost impossibly tough on an iPad. It was quite tough on a Mac with Photoshop and a 24" monitor! My tip would be, use Photoshop on a big screen computer. Sometimes you do need to use the right tools for the job! Quote Windows PCs.
