Whereas most digital images are millions of colors, I am having some issues with an image that is only like 16 or 32 colors. Go figure! Essentially I started with an image and autotraced it, thereby converting it to colored vectors in illustrator. (this looks like the cutout filter in PS but is scalable without any degradation in resolution). Now in Photoshop, after rasterizing the image, I am trying to map where each of the colors fall in the image in order to make stencils for each color. What I would like is like 32 images, where each image is only of one color at a time. When layered, these stencils should complete the whole image. This is how screen printing works... Unforunately, I can't use Channels to get each of the colors since this will only generate 4 images for CMYK respectively. Any suggestions for how to do this? I'm surprised there isnt already a plugin that does this for lo-fidelity images. |

is your traced image in illustrator layered or all on one layer? if not, seperate the various shapes into seperate layers. then File > Export your illustrator document into .psd. make sure [ ] Write layers is checked. open with potatochop, and voila, now your shapes are all rasterized and seperate layers. |

i think that'll do it. i would like to mention though that you can add spot colors in the channels pallette, but that would be a not so great way to do this. |
