honestly I am struggling with hueforge. Maybe it works for simple colours but when you are at the point of cutting and gluing lol. I am about to give up on it LOL! thanks for the video, it is a problem that I am struggling with a lot. I got the CMYK pack from BambuLab, thinking that I could replicate screen printing.
If you have a multicolor printer it can be a lot easier. I haven't tried it as I don't have one (well I have a 2 color one but it's a terrible machine).
I'm not a photoshop user (I prefer Gimp due to subscription costs Adobe likes to charge), but if I understand your problem with HueForge, I know one can adjust the values used for either input or output in Gimp. Google suggests a similar Photoshop technique may allow one to do the same thing: Per Google: "Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Black & White will allow you to adjust the light level of the colors that make up your image. Here you can strip out all but the gray tones. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels is where you find controls for adjusting the light and dark levels of the input and output channels." I'm thinking this command sequence would allow for altering the greyscale output so that the values differ enough to avoid the improper color assignments in HueForge. Again, I can't know for sure this does what I'm thinking, but if Gimp can do it, I believe PS should be able to do so as well. Hope this helps.
I think you were predicting the future when you made this video :-) The new version can make 3 Hueforges at once (no gluing) if you pre-process by shifting the color bands to R, G, B.
This is NOT how to make good images. Go to the source and understand the software and prepping the image before you enter it into Hueforge. BTW it's a huge pain and time consuming if you don't have a mutli-color unit like the AMS or Enraged Rabbit and MMU2-3 not a big fan of Prusa. Started recently so I don't have the biases of well in my day I did 7 day prints and swapped filament manually etc. I don't have the time or patience to do anything like that unless you are your parents basement playing Xbox and can be bothered to swap filaments. The easy trick is to use slot 1 for a 5th color with the AMS or AMS lite and swap it after the 1st filament change. Technically you could do this with more slots and pauses. But you get the drift.
This is the method that was recommended for this image by Steve, creator of HueForge. There is an official video showing this method on the a HueForge channel. I was just passing on what I learned.
You mad bro? You come across as someone that actually does live in their parents basement. Sup with that? Maybe they had enough of your attitude too. Is that why they kicked you out all those years ago?
I saw something about a new "color pop" feature that might be useful here.

Yes, I thought about doing it that way but this was suggested by HueForge so I thought I'd share it this way.

Do you know of a decent tutorial for this?
Thanks interesting to watch.
Theres gotta be a way to not have to glue them together!
Perhaps with a lot of photoshopping to make the similar colors different enough.
I really think gluing is not the way to go I'm sorry but it looks awful
Well, there's no other way to do it without an MMU.
Lost me at Glue

Way too much effort for this issue
If you have a better method using a single filament printer I'd love to hear it.
