LATEST VERSION found HERE
Here are options.

Test run... I added the text after which isn't generated by the script (The script only does all the cutting out and coloring for you).

Absolutely love the script. Ran it on McDreamy...

Did get error message - what do you think trandoductin?

that's odd.
What's the error?
It's supposed to create cut outs for the 4th color by using color 3 and 5 to cover the white in your image.

I am just trying to select white color from from the layer named "Obama poster 1".

I am guessing you had transparent background and active layer on top... i fixed this in the latest version a few posts below (or there's a link to it in the first post).

Worked good here.

I keep getting a double image instead of one. What am I doing wrong?

edit: I found out you cannot do an image on a transparent background.
Works since I put in a background. :jumpclap

I should change your one active layer into 3 layers (it works on your active layer, and then creates 2 new layers for the 4color the one with bars).

this version will try to do a merge before it runs the rest of script..
so that you can start with an active layer on top of transparent background.

This one copied colors (had the real original Obama poster opened) and selected colors from it.

Also i find it works well, if you bump up the contrast before running script.

Did these two on your original script, was not yet aware you had updates. Will play some more.

Even later version. This version will generate text and scale to fit at bottom of image as well as border. to look even more like the poster.
