Hello!

Here is a basic question…

When I am creating a spot channel in the channels palette, do I also need to create a layer in the layers palette?

I’ve already created some text in layers, and instead of starting all over again to create spot channels for the text, I was told I could just ctrl+click on the layer and copy onto a new spot channel. In that respect, I have a layer and a spot channel.

But if I am creating from scratch, do I create both?

Hope my question is not confusing…and hope the answer is easy!

thanks in advance!

No. You don’t need to create a layer and a spot channel. I mean, you can if you want to or need to keep elements separated for later editing, but the data on the spot channel really is present (or can be applied to) in all layers simultaneously.
