Hello,
I am designing an image for t-shirt. I would like to know if anyone knows what are the color settings in photoshop for screen printing or color separation.
thanks |

Don't use photoshop for screen printing. Use Illustrator or some other form of vector editing program. It makes things much easier. Every screen printer is a little different in how they do things, so it would be good if you could talk to whoever you're doing it through and ask them what they prefer.

Is the image all line work, or does it contain tone?

You may have to go a transfer rather than direct screen if you going to have a photo (halftone) and line work as well.
Ask the screenprinter how he is going to print the shirts and what type of a file he needs.
There are a few ways to do a job like this so check with the printer first then come back to us
