FL Uv Tutorial
FL Uv Tutorial
"first you need to create the "halftone dots" effect that you see on the finished ID.
for florida UV, copy your picture from the template and paste it into a new photshop document.
1) go to image>mode>grayscale
2) go to image>mode>bitmap...
9) go to the CHANNELS box (it's behind the layers box) your template should be set to CMYK. if it isn't
then convert it to CMYK. (image>mode>CMYK color)
11) DELETE the MAGENTA and YELLOW channels completely. they should be WHITE.
14) print.
this technique works, however there's a couple of things you have to do to make sure you get best
results.
BEFORE STEP ONE: go to the levels and make sure that you "oversaturate" your image, so that whites
are REALLY white and the darks are black. this will make it easier for you. then go ahead and complete
steps 1-6.
you have to use the levels window to double-check what you're doing, hover over the part of the image
you want to check, and it will give you values for CMYK in percent.
in the white spaces you want both C and K to be 0% (but a value of anywhere from 2-9% is fine).
