I have no idea what I'm doing to start. I have an image that I need to be only one shade of black one shade of white and one shade of grey. I'm not good with photoshop. I have a hard time working paint. If I need to explain better or something please let me know. Thanks for any help.

I thought the same...

1. Add a 'Black and White' adjustment layer.
2. Add a 'Posterize' adjustment layer.
3. Set 'Levels' to 3

I don't know how to exactly explain what I want. I can try what you are saying when I get home. What I need to be able to do it's the picture is zoom all the way in and have clean lines. Not the fuzzy blending thing it does.

@Eggy

I guess we both suck at Photoshop. :rofl:


In that case do you mean the Anti-Aliasing?

I suspect pointing us to an example of something similar to what you are after would help no end.

Cheers

I make inlays out of chainmaile. Each pixel counts as one ring. I don't have a lot of colors to choose from. Aliasing? I'll have to google that. In paint when I draw a black line then zoom it. It fades from black in the center to different shades of grey. I'm asking if there is a way to get rid of the fading, and if there is a way I can make the edit the image to only be certain colors. I appreciate the help. If you want to be understand what you are saying you may have to break it down for simple minded people.
