Is there a way to create a spot color with a pms tint? I want to use a 50% shade of PMS 1805. Thanks!
If you’re working with a spot channel for 1805 just fill the area(s) in question with 50% black (this creates the 50% tint on the 1805 channel).
If you’re looking to create a fill of 50% of the CMYK "match" to 1805 then just locate 1805 in the color picker, click the Picker button to return the dialog to RGB/CMYK/Lab and halve each of the CMYK values. (If you have a spot-to-process swatchbook in front of you this will let you skip a step – just go right to the CMYK fields and enter half of each number from the swatchbook.)
