I need to reduce some photos to one spot color for printing. No screens, no shades of gray, just one bit. My problem is that I did one and now have a bunch more.
I have used levels and played with curves. I have masked the original image into zones and applied these selectively. Even then I had to create much of the image from scratch. All of this took a lot of work and tweaking. The challenge is finding something simpler that retains the essence of the image. To make matters worse the process I am using makes it impossible to use fine details… like cross hatching. It prefers large blocks of color with (relatively) smooth borders.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael
