FIRST
Go to ANDY WARHOL's WEBSITE and watch the interactive silkscreen demonstration.

Choose a photograph that you would like to use for this assignment and open it up into Photoshop:
Go to File -> Open and then select the image of your choice.
BEGIN
1. Convert you color image into a high contrast so it is a pure black and white image:
Go to Image -> Mode and then select Grayscale. This will discard all the color from your original image.
2. Next, Go to Image -> Adjustments -> Brightness/Contrast
A small window will appear on your screen. Be sure that the two boxes labled 'Preview' and 'Use Legacy' are BOTH checked. Click on the scale underneath the word Contrast and move it all the way to the right hand side. You should see all the gray values disappear from your image and only have a pure black and white image. Now click OK.
Check to be sure that the photo you chose will still be visible once it is converted to a pure black and white image. If it is not clearly visible what it is a picture of then choose another image and repeat the previous steps with your new image.
3. Once you have your image set to high contrast, select the layer your image is on and make a copy of it: Go to Layer -> Duplicate Layer
4. Now, click on the bottom layer so that it is selected.
Go to Image ->Adjustments -> Invert
You should have a copy of the original contrast photo on the top layer and an inverted version of that picture on the bottom layer.
5. The next step is to erase all of the white areas in the image on the top layer. To do so, select the top layer, click on the eraser tool and select the 'Magic Erase Tool." You will see the top part of the screen were it say 'Contiguous' - make sure that is unselected. Next, set you tolerance to around 0%. Now, with one click on the white background you should see all the white disappear from your image.
6. Now lets put that top layer aside for now by clicking on the 'eye' next to the layer to make that layer invisible.
7. For the bottom layer, the goal is to leave all of the white but get rid of all of the black by turning it different colors. There are several ways you can go about doing this. You can use the 'Paint Bucket Tool' OR you can select certain areas with the 'Magic Wand Tool' and use the 'Paint Brush Tool' to color in specific areas.
You can also adjust the size of your brush tool depending on the size of the area you are coloring in:

You can also adjust the size of your brush tool depending on the size of the area you are coloring in:
***Before you start to add colors be sure to change your mode back to color!
Go to Image -> Mode and select RGB or CMYK
Now, select the bottom layer and begin adding color.
Now, select the bottom layer and begin adding color.
8. When you are finished with the bottom layer, all you should see is original white areas and all the colors that you added. Now go back and click where the eye was on the top layer to make that layer visible again. With the top layer selected, yse the arrows on your keyboard to shift the image so you can see just the edge of the white area from the image on the bottom layer.
You have now completed your Andy Warhol Style Image in Photoshop :)
