Do you want it to look screen printed or like a photograph. Print it on transfer paper and it should look just like the photo. If you want it to look like a color separated screen print, you can tweak it in Photoshop.

Agree with Solmu...I do not know of any way to make a transfer look like screen printing. You can get different looks by tweaking in photoshop but it will not look like the real thing
