I am new to using Gimp, I am trying to take an image and separate the colors for screen printing.
I have tried following different video & online articles that explain the process however I continue to run into issues, perhaps I am not understanding the issue or I am using an image that cant be separated?
I have included a couple of attachments to show what I am trying to separate and I will also show what results I have achieved.
Image 1 - is the image created using a photo then adding text
I tried to separate the first color flesh/skin by :
selecting the color tool
I then clicked on the skin of the image
I copied the selection(ctrl+C)
I pasted the image(ctrl+V)
I clicked on the floating layer and clicked new layer
Image 2 is what appeared ( the black outline of the wrestler)
However when I would repeat this step for the next color ex. the red background behind the wrestler I would get nothing.
Is the problem the image I am using or something I am doing?
Thanks for any all information.
