Can I copy or scan in a picture of art into photo-paint and then break it down? Like change the colors... I seen in one forum where " Jef " I think wrote change color pallet to pantone r solid. Yet I still can not figure it out... Also, Is there a way to do simulated process with a picture/drawing?
Ok I went to a seminar which kinda broke things down to do simulated process, but in adobe photoshop... This is to create a channel in photoshop ... 1) create color pallet 2) then Select+ Color Range+ Sample color ... Ok this is as fast as I could write it down... Can anyone Convert this PHOTOSHOP language to Corel Photo-Paint language....

Hi,Yes you can scan a picture, and then change all the colours.Remember Photo-Paint is a very powerful program, so you dont have to worrie HOW you change colours is totally dependent on what kind of fileformat and picture you are talking about.Here is a print screen from my Photo-Paint X4, see attached image, showing you where you find all the dockers (which in Photoshop is called Palettes). Channel docker is there as you can see. You should take a moment and go through the Interface, menu of Photo-Paint. Open all the dockers, and go through them, to start understanding what they are all about.
When it comes to spot color and clip-art style artwork, I tend to use CorelDRAW first, watch this 9mb video

Here is a movie for PP to separate RGB art to spot colors in multichannel document
Actually I am trying Wink at the same time.. :-D
actually, I bet you dont need to make a new doc...
1. just create new spot channels in RGB doc.
2. copy art to those channels
3. convert doc to multichannel, delete RGB channels, leaving spots
Oh well... :-)
here's one more example of splitting full color artwork into spot colors using Photo-PAINT.
I split to 3 colors, then used the shirt itself as a color, so only 2 inks needed.
After several steps, we have a hi-res 30 LPI example on the shirt, where you'll see halftone dots!
Jef,
Once again thank you for the insight and help... I will try that and see if I can get it ....
