Couldn't you do this with an rgb or cmyk separation followed by going back to the original image in color and doing a color selection for a particular area like the leaves in the green forest and making another negative just for that and using a specific green watercolor?

Hi,
I was looking into the multiple separations a while back, I cam across this fellow whose tried out the 6 color Hexachrome route: http://www.flickr.com/photos/herbhoover/sets/72157600002518379/ Though he had a tough time with the last 6th layer for some reason, it would ruin the print? I'm unsure about spot color, though if someone knows how it works in Photoshop to get the accuracy of what colors you want for each sepaaration please chime in. I presume getting the correct selection of color via photoshop is the most important part? Then applying the appropriate color to that selection..
My original idea using separate colors was to find out where colors fall in the color gamut and figure out how to increase the gamut with extra color separations. Say to use a more saturated green separation to a forest photo. If I were successful in producing a green separation would I then increase the color gamut of the photograph with a specific green water color? Is it possible to do this? I'm sure there is a way and possibly spot colors is the way to go... Jacek
