  • Once the contrast is adjusted, select by color and choose a black region of the image (at this point the there should be very little grayscale).
  • Create a new layer and fill the selection with red. Hide all of the other layers or insert a white layer between the new red layer and the others.
  • Use white and red "ink" to fill in spaces and connect all of the white. In the final stencil, everything that's white will NOT be painted. If you were to stencil red on a white t-shirt, this is how it would look. Make sure to connect all of the white. Leave no white islands. Also, I use a drawing tablet for this step instead of a mouse.
  • Notice I'm doing all of this with completely free and open source software.
