I use gray scale on all my work and pull the colors out of it.

Care to elaborate on this? I have really wanted to explore this method. By the way killer job!!!!!!!

Homer, this will be two color like the original with the wrong bullet. White and navy on a med rage blue.... But they have to have American Apparel and the colors are limited.. Shall see.

A grayscale image contains ALL the information. If I wanted to grab the car Minus say the taillights and trim... throw it on a spot channel and make it blue.... then I could use levels or even better control " Curves" to pull the shadow area out allowing black or darks to com through, same with highlights, allowing white to come through and maybe pollute the mid range? to simple of an explanation?

In a way its a little confusing. Although I dont claim to be the brightest bulb with this stuff....lol I would love to learn more about it.

that's a lot of bang for the buck (only two colors)! Looks very nice!
Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!
