colour spotting - working with channels

  • go on grayscale, channels, dropdown dialog box - new spot channel
  • stay on the coloured spot channel but select black for ink - is really black but you can visualise in other colour
  • you can use different tones of grey - comes out as different tonal values of printing ink 
  • To nock out - select area with wand one one layer - go onto other layer, click delete - on dropdown change to white 
  • To fill in pre drawn areas - Select area with wand tool on black channel then fill selected area on coloured channel - if not a totally closed area use lasoo selection tool 
  • to edit line art colour etc - create new spot colour channel - select, all - copy across from grey channel then turn that one off
  • to paste texture across into area - select texture - lassoo? - select area to paste it into using wand - right clock - paste into (edit, paste special, paste into)
  • When you save - save as PS document and have spot colour box checked
