I'm working in Photoshop CS2 on a 300dpi image I scanned with an Epson gt-15000. Since it is scanned, there are variations in the color of the areas.
Here's the problem: I am trying to separate all of the colors into different layers. Even variations in shade are getting separated. One section has two shades of gray meeting, without a black line between them, so they touch in the image. The selection also has to be very precise. When I select it with the wand it either bleed over the line (at a threshold of nine) or select only a hand full of pixels (at a threshold of eight). As I add to the selection with 8, it eventually bleeds over the line. The end result keeps coming back to having to clean it up by hand with the mouse, which destroys the precision.
In the end the question is: How do I get a precise separation of two similar shades of grey that each a have a variation in the color of the pixels composing them? |
