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 ....
Stefan,
Yes you are correct, I do need to go and open each one to get a better understanding of photo-paint... Thank you for the help...
Hi Joey,What you also could do, is to have the "Hints" docker open. It gives hints, and some of the hints might be good for what you are working with. Sometimes not. But the general idea with the Hints docker is to give hints. And it is "case" sensitive. In that when you for example is working with a brush, a hint about that comes up in the hints docker. And so on. You can do a LOT with Photo-Paint.Greetings from Sweden, on the other side of the Atlantic ocean.
