I'm trying to make a monotone piece of art, so i can do something like this.My problem is i can get it to LOOK like this on the screen But i can't get it to print like this.
What I am mainly trying to do, is layer a greyscale over a color and print just the color behind it,so the greyscale accually gives the background color halftones.
I can change a greyscale to a black/white and use halftones or jarvis, but it looks so, so grainy.
I want a greyscale so i can left click and add color, while a right click changes not the pen line, but the greysclale color.
I know this can't be done or can it? i have this file for you to see how i want my monotone to react.
when i open the shirt in corelpaint you can see it's just a solid black monotone.
Hi, I don't really understand your question or whether it has been answered. However, there is a good way in PhotoPaint to get tonal value from one image and color from another.1. Use the colored image as the background or as a lower layer.2. Add a layer from which to get the tonal values. (It's easiest to handle if it's gray scale but it can be color.)3. Put the top layer into the lightness mode. The top layer now supplies tonal values and the bottom layer provides color to produce the "virtual" image.Here's an example.Phil
OK -- I think I understand the question now.
If you right click on the shirt and go to image > mode you will see it is a black and white (1 bit) image. This is how it must be if you want to assign foreground and background colours with the left and right mouse. Only 1 bit images do that.
Except that --- if you zoom in closely on that image, it is most definitely not a pure 1 bit image. At first sight, it looks to be some form of tinted greyscale:
But now look closely at the edge of the yellow. It is not a bitmap, it is a vector path.
So I think what you have here is a bitmap with transparency (alpha channel) to simulate the intermediate grey levels and a clipping mask to define the perimeter. Yet somehow, CorelDraw has managed to import it as a 1 bit image so that its appearance reflects the fill / outline colours assigned with the left and right mouse.
I don't think you can create this using CorelDraw, but it might be possible in photopaint. That's not something I've done, so perhaps the PP experts here can take it from here.
One thing I notice is that you cannot edit that image in photopaint -- at least, not with the edit bitmap button in CorelDraw. CorelDraw is telling photopaint its a 1 bit inage, so that's all that photopaint is seeing.
One thing that might help is if you could say how that shirt image originated. If it was imported, what was the original file format and have you done anything with it since importing. And if it was created in another program, what options were used to save it.
And if you still have the original image (not in a CDR file) -- can you open that image in photopaint, save it as CPT and import the CPT to CorelDraw without losing the ability to edit the colours with left and right mouse click?
You just need to translate the different grays to transparencies.Transfer your already inverted wolf image to Photopaint. If it's a background, turn it into an object. Copy the object to clipboard.Create a mask from object.Enter the paint on mask mode, right click and paste the image as new selection.Exit paint on mask mode by selecting the object in the object manager.Invert the mask - you want the black to be masked.Cut the object to mask.Remove the mask and save the image back to Draw.Now you have an grayscale image with only one color - Black. All the grays you can see is just black with different levels of tranparency.Turn the grayscale image into black/white (use mode, not convert), select lineart with maximum threshold (ignore the preview, transparency will not show there).Now you have monochrome bitmap - left click to color or remove the whites, right click to color or remove the blacks.
