Does anybody know if Photoshop has some kind of tool that can tell/show me how many colours are in my render/design?

'Cause I want to get some t-shirts printed. I'm thinking of getting it silk screened and each colour/screen requires an additional fee.

But you see, I already have my final product, and not in the process of it. Sooo; I can't exactly save each colour I use.

Try opening up the jpeg (or w/e the file format is of the product) click on the paint app, then take a sample and save it on a swatch

You can only see how many colours are in either a vector, or an indexed image. If you are in any colour mode aside from indexed (think .GIF), then you're out of luck.

Wouldn't it be better to use pure vector (ie: plop it into Illustrator or Freehand)? That way you can set your one single colour to a global swatch, then rename it as a spot colour and specify the colour of ink you wish to use. You can use an infinite number of shade values within that colour to form your greys. You also get a 100% smooth result, as you are dealing with vectors - not a bitmap/pixels. It can be resized infinitely, accordingly.
