    Great video man. Couple things I'd like to add/ask to the tutorial.

    When you duplicate the layer (to beef up the anti-alias softness) and then re-merge it; I believe you can achieve this in one step by using "Images/Apply Image", no?

    Also, I'm curious about when you add 30degrees to each subsequent color sep, if let's say the first color sep (I think you did black), do all following layers have an angle of 75? Or do you add 30 to the first one, and then 60 to the next one, 90 to the last one, etc? I'm not clear on that one step and I think it might be helpful to explain that step of halftone pattern angles a bit more.

    Thanks man!

    please explain at 11:45 ADDING NEW LAYERS BELOW EACH LAYER...what kind of layer is being added?

    just a new blank layer, then merge with layer above. It's just a simple way to make his color overlay be permanent so he can do another effect on the layer (multiply)

    I am very curious, which order they're supposed to be printed in, does anyone know?

    At the shop I work at, we generally print out test prints in the CMYK order. If we get too much of one color, we adjust our inks. If that doesn't work, we reorder the screens to get the look we're after.

    Curious to know, do you ever run 355's when printing spot colors??


    Excellent explanations too man, keep up the good work!

    Sometimes when there is a ton of detail or I want a really soft hand on the shirt I will use a 305+ mesh screen.

    So, it works in photoshop by using multiply... but what really happens in real life??? Do inks really merge like that? or do yo need to use some kind of trick... I WANNA KNOW!!!
    Thanks fot the tutorial, everytime I tried this before I skiped the angles part, so I never really did anything.

    Since process inks go on transparent, yes they really do mix like that! Rules, huh?
