I have corel draw x3 and in it is a clip art of a fish jumping out of the water catching a fly. If silk screen printed just the way it is in one color it does a nice job of half tones. My client would like it done in two colors, the fish in shades of brown and the water in shades of blue. If we color the water blue and then seperate by color we get blacks, whites, and the shades too. Can this picture be separated by object rather than color, the water, the fish?

Hi, expo.

The problem is that if you tell the program to separate the colors, it assumes the approach for 'full color', meaning that color is separated into four printer colors -- cyan, red, yellow and black.

The simplest approach is to create two copies of the picture - fish brown and fish blue. Open FishBrown and delete all the parts you want as blue then save it for the brown-ink screen. Do the reverse for the blue plate. This way Corel will see it all as one-color and maintain the gradations.
