Need to convert a CMYK+Spot EPS file to a CMYK+Spot TIFF. I have been reading what I can about the process, but must be missing something. I was able to create a new file with the exact same pixel dims and copy the channels into the new file. However, it is not quite right. Is there a clear cut tutorial somewhere that can help me?
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
I have attached a .psd file, what i need to do is add a 1% min dot to the PMS 382 in the background but have the CMYK images knock
out of the spot colour. Everything i do leaves the 1% in the CMYK areas as well...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Duncan
Can somebody using PS CC or PS 2014 please confirm whether the file names are correct for split channels.
Procedu
1. Open a file, (must be flattened if a layered PSD).
2. From the Channels Panel Fly-Out menu choose 'Split Channels'.
3. The file names of the resulting documents should be:
For RGB or CMYK file 'butterfly.png':
butterfly.png_Red or _Cyan
butterfly.png_Green or _Magenta
butterfly.png_Blue or _Yellow
butterfly.png_Black
My results a
AR_Red
_Green
A_Blue
These results are the same for every file I've tried. The original filename is totally disregarded.
Is this just me or is it PS CC and PS 2014?
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards.
MrTom.
Hi there!
im having an issue when I convert my photo to CMYK from RGB in photoshop.
The colour loss is huge, which is a shame but something I can adjust, however the other issue is that it's actually losing a lot of the detail with it. It's giving it the kind of effect you have when you whack the gamma up, almost like a solarised/white layer overlay effect or something. I've tried with the original and the flattened file but the results are similar.
The image may potentially be blown up to bus ad type size so it's really important the detail is still there.
Is there any cheat fix to this or perhaps something I'm missing?
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Hi,
I am very fond of Colour alterations on a photo through manipulating RGB or CMYK channels. I recently stumbled upon a method that gave a rather very interesting colour effect I think. I deleted the blue channel out of my RGB image, that left me with cyan and magenta channels. However the problem is that I cannot save that image with the usual formats such as PNG and JPEG. I can only save it as PSD and a bunch of other technical formats. I suppose it is because a channel is missing. I have tried to fill the blue channel with black but that did not give the same effect. Is there a way to save the image with that colour effect, or somehow achieving the exact same result through a method without deleting a channel?
I'd really appreciate your help. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Hi Photoshop Gurus
I have been working on a billboard 414cm x 230cm and i have on 4000x6000pix image from a fullframe canon 5dmkii filling up the whole billboard.
What is the best way to save the image for billboard printing + preserve vector lines and text on top of the image?
(i have worked with the plugin perfect resize to scale up but don't like the results)
Now i make a psd. 1to10 (all smartobjects) and then save it as 3000dpi instead of 300dpi so the file is 10 times as big when printed and therefore full size. This way make the pdf's much smaller instead of making 1to1 resolution then i have to save as tiff since the file is over 2gb (can't save as pdf when to big) and the result is actually not as good as the pdf when i review the exports.. + 1to1 is very slow to work with since the files turn into 8gb psb and can be saving/loading for 30-60min sometimes.
<b>Would like to hear your opinion on this billboard printing? What is the best method to get your design from screen to 414cm x 230cm billboard without any bad surprises in the printing.

The printing company wants the file in TIFF, psd, pdf,ai. My impression if pdf work with everyone so prefer to go with that, of no benefit with other formats.
Hi,
I would like to see pixel values of 16-bit TIFF images in Photoshop CC2014. I'm able se 8-bit (0-255) pixel values using he histogram and info tabs but it seems that when 16-bit images are opened the pixel values are still displayed from 0-255.
I want to do to see this information for scientific purposes, not for typical photo editing. I've read many discussions about the practicality of editing 16-bit images but would like to avoid having my original question overrun by that discussion here. I am specifically looking for differences between pixels with more resolution than 8 bits.
I found one recommendation t check a box stating "show pixel values in 16-bit" or something like that but I have not yet been able to find the checkbox.
Thanks for any help.
Hi I have a question which I'm fighting with for several years. Daily I work as car wrap designer so a lot of my projects are cut by cutting plotters.
Every work I create has to be made of tiff file with bleed and a vector .eps file containing cut line.
the problem is sometimes client wants shapes so abstract that ContentAwareFill just cant do the trick.
same with active selection and Cmd+Alt+ arrow keys while selection is still active because sometimes art ic made of several floating objects.
(I hope I'm describing it enough, sorry for my bad english )
here are the images to show you what I mean:
01. main image
02. cut line
03. final work
As you can look closer bleed spreads in every direction uniformly:
I know I can use smudge, yes in example like above. but If I have tree with many many leaves floating.. I should manually smudge bleed of every leaf.
Question is:
Do you have "automated" solution? plugin? action? script? or just different idea than CAFill, smudge tool, or pixel shifting?
Thank you

Gurus: I have a big problem with a 12 image project. Example: All 12 original PSD images, 100- 300 megs each, were then flattened (all layers merged) to around half the file size of originals, then I converted to highest quality Jpeg's in the 10 - 30 meg range. I then placed the 12 Jpeg's in a InDesign template. The goal is the best quality product when I export the Indesign file to PDF. But my Mac says the entire Indesign file under "get info" says it is only 11 Megs!!?? Am I kidding myself? I thought I was getting good at this. Apparently, I have a lot to learn. Should I save the PSD's to Tiff's with LZW compression? Any other professional suggestions to make the project the best it can be when I export to PDF and not make a fool out of myself by publishing garbage. The publisher has a 400 meg PDF file size limit. I need your expertise, so set set me straight. I'm not going to compromise. So whatever it takes, I'll get it done. Thx, TimothyKim
Hello guys, i'm have a little trouble to print a folder of my company.
I hired a guy to make the folder, but he backed out of the deal.
The folder is already completed, i'm just having issue with the printer company.
My background isn't in the right black composition in cmyk.
How do i change the actual RGB gradient of my background to a CMYK with ONLY K color making the gradient??
Any idea?
Here's the print of the last page.
We have a project where the final media will have a color palette limited to 454 colors. We have a conversion from the media's color selection to RGB. So, from an XML file I created a CSV file, meaning I have both if necessary, of 454 colors with a name and their RGB values.
I need to create a color library so that I can put an image in photoshop and then change it to indexed color so that it ONLY uses these 454 colors.
Is there a way to convert or compile my csv/xml file to a photoshop ACT file? I feel like there must be. I do *not* want to enter 454 colors by hand.
Thanks so much for any advice. Attached is a screenshot for reference.
