I wanted to find out how you can add textures for screen printing and I came across this video tutorial/class. I decided to join and it's pretty useful stuff so far. Link to video below:

Turning images into pure black and white:

make it grayscale:
adjust levels to get more of a contrast:
Image > Mode > Bitmap >Diffusion Dither
When you zoom in, it will be pure black and white.
To separate the black from the white (or vice versa):
Turn image back to grayscale mode and unlock layer. Use the magic wand tool with 'Contiguous' unchecked and click on the white area. This should select all the whites and then simply delete, which should leave you with the blacks on transparent background

With this you can then play around with colours on separate layers!
Change to RGB colour (or CYMK) mode first.
Add a new colour layer.
To change colour of the black, go to effects (fx) > Colour Overlay and choose colour
and voila.
