Photoshop 7 (Illustrstor 10) Windows 2000
What I want to do: Convert greayscale images to CMYK with the image only on the Black channel.
The problem: When converting a grayscale photo to CMYK in Photoshop, the image is spread across all 4 channels.
Partial solution: Create a custom color setting using Maximum black generation
The confusing part: Illustrator 10 will convert to CMYK without splitting the image across all channels (Using the Adjust Color filter), it stays in just the black – Using the same color settings as Photoshop.
I would like to better understand what is going on here. Can anyone give me some insight? Why does Illustrator do it one way and Photoshop does it another. And, since I live in my own little world of needs, Why would you want a grayscale image distribited on all channels? Just the rich black thing?
thanks
