07 Color Translations Part 3

Color Bitmap Translations

11

Make a total of 12 more color translations — (using your #1 original photograph translation) — after making it a bitmap in photoshop, then organize in your illustrator final color translations file and export these as one PDF.

  1. Open your .psd scan of original photograph #1 in photoshop
  2. Convert this file into a bitmap image by choosing Image–Mode—Bitmap. If Bitmap is not available to select, then choose Greyscale first, then Bitmap.
  3. Keep dpi at 300 and “save as” the original photo file with the following four example of bitmaps: 50% Threshold, Halftone Screen—Round, Halftone Screen—Line, Diffusion Dither. You can change the options for the Halftone screens only.
  4. This will give you a vector image that you can colorize now once placed in Illustrator.
  5. Place these into your final color translation file in Illustrator and do 12 more color translations using these 4 new bitmaps.
  6. Use each of the 4 types of bitmaps three times. Four rows of three. Total 27 artboards!
