Thanks all for the reply, and thanks much to
"tacit".
well, what I have been told by the person that is doing a "film positive" that he needs to have only two channels, black and Cyan, now for my understanding, is basically split the channels, and "Merge" all the channels with black leaving only the cyan out. but i have been told differently.
my image had cyan gradient that merges with other colors, so it is impossible to get "just" the cyan, without using my method (split-merge), So, is my method of color seperation is wrong? (according to the requirements)??
so if someone needs "color separation" i just need to change from RGB to CMYK right? of course there maybe some flesh tone correction, and some color correction, but what should i present to the person that brings me a project to be color separated?
and if the asked is 2 channels, let us say, Cyan and black, to be done as "film positive" what should i do? (if different than my method) should i invest in a laser printer to output the needed channels?
and what is the required for a "prepress" if i have a photo or any graphics file that i create?
thanks a lot that would mean so much for me to answer. thanks
Note: i read what i saw relative in the Help file in photoshop, and i do understand that Vector files need to be done in Illustrator (even though am not sure how to do color seperation in illustrator, any light on that subject would be great) mean while am still running that internet for help.
thanks again guys and gals.
