Is there a way to make ps (6.0) to show a seperate layer for each colour? (I don’t mean RGB) and print only in that colour?
The project is make a colour design for a t-shirt, and we will be using screen printing.

Sorry if I am sounding a bit confused. My teacher(this is a school project) doesn’t know how to do this, he hasn’t taught the class in 3 years.

Thanks,
Andrew

Make a multichannel document, and set the colors of the inks to match the ones you will be using. Do your artwork on each channel separately, and save the images as separate files.

There’s more to this, of course, including possibly screening, trap, and choke, but that should get you started.
