How to Color Knock Out for the best DTF Prints!

[@rudolfowalchonzo2356]

Thank you for your Photoshop, Illustrator and of other videos. The videos are easy to follow and understand also for none native English speaking persons like me. Please continue this way. Thanks from Germany

[@DTFSuperstore]

Wow! That's great to hear! Thanks!

This video is incredible, but I’m having so many issues. I’m opening my png graphic in illustrator and it’s not even allowing me to delete the white background. Problem 1 lol On top of that when I use the selection tool it’s just selecting the image as a whole? I’m feeling dumb

[@DTFSuperstore]

you can not edit PNG's in illustrator. PNG is a raster file and needs to be edited in Photoshop. Illustrator is used to edit vector files

[@Justin_Dykes]

@@DTFSuperstore SO what file types does the technique in the end of this video work on (the one with the california design) I know you said vector files but what file types are vector EX. ESP, PNG, JPG, AI, etc

[@Fancylooks]

Wow, thank you so much, all,you explain I knew except the merge tool... and it is so very useful!!! It is excellent information, fantastic!

[@DTFSuperstore]

Glad it was helpful! The Expand-Merge tool was a game changer for me. Literally years I've spent wanting to be able to do that but not being able to figure out how!!

[@JohnD0077]

Question... Would you suggest doing that also for DTG Prints? I have a very similar logo of a dragon with black that is printed on a black shirt

[@DTFSuperstore]

Yes, it would save on ink costs at the very least.

[@forreal7568]

Love this video. I am very new to illustrator. Do you have a video of the set-up of your work flow for illustrator? I cant even find some of these prompts LOL

[@DTFSuperstore]

Glad you enjoyed! We could do a tutorial on Illustrator, Photoshop and other softwares commonly used. We will add it to our future videos. Thanks for watching!

nice! does Gimp work more like a vector based program like illustrator or is it more like photoshop? been looking for an alternative to photoshop for working on graphics. played around with Inkscape. but would prefer something more like adobe, without spending 2x as much already on adobe products

[@DTFSuperstore]

Gimp is a vector based editor so more like Illustrator. Yes, Adobe products are a little on the pricy side but they are the most capable and the industry standard for graphic design. Also a ton of resources and tutorials out there.

[@kspec2001]

@@DTFSuperstore thanks for the info. I agree with you about Adobe products. Ive been under their thumb...i mean..a "subscriber" and been using photoshop since 5.5 and lightroom since very early on as a photographer (part time) was even doing some video at one point with their products til i switched to using Resolve. I will have to take a look at Gimp more!

[@DTFSuperstore]

I could have sworn we've covered that on a video....can't find one so I guess we need to make that. ....loading ;)

[@robot_genz]

[@DTFSuperstore]

Haha thanks for the feedback!

[@ARMA2ARMENIA]

Nice video, can you show the same on GIMP pls ?

[@DTFSuperstore]

We'll see what we can do!

[@notfromchicago]

How about affinity?

[@DTFSuperstore]

We just uploaded a full tutorial on how to Halftone for DTF in Affinity Photo 2, We'll add Color knockouts to our "Videos to make asap" list Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZO5gquVeKl6qaM

[@Jerry-LZ]

If the graphic is perfect. A lot of artists get lazy and don't trim the shapes so once you remove the color you just see the layers behind it. I wish it was this easy every time.

[@DTFSuperstore]

We actually cover that exact issue later in the video. Check out 5:50 and beyond.
