With practice you will discipline yourself until Adobe repairs the new issue. Don't fall asleep at the wheel or you will freak when you produce 4 extra CMYK films. It's a trade off, but great value is delivered. The downside is that the preview now introduces CMYK colors thinking the user wants to print the preview as well because it is no longer a preview built from the imported (PLACED) DCS2 separations. Super great is that these formats also support transparency in Illustrator during layout. This brings back the preview with or without the Proxy Preview pref on (good), delivers a quality "live" preview that will display edits to spot colors when converting white colors to color so they can be seen during preview (good), and makes the Separation Preview feature work again (great).
BEST FILE QUALITY FOR SEPARATION STUDIO UPDATE
We can bring back all the abilities they took from us with the 2018 update by re-saving a DCS2 file in either an RGB or CMYK mode "with" spot color channels as a PSD or PDF. There is a workaround to Adobe's issue however it does take some extra attention by the end user. This is one benefit to using the psd technique that you don't get from Placing an. you might not need to drag each channel to it's own layer, but I like to keep clean files and to be able to turn channels off and on with layers.
BEST FILE QUALITY FOR SEPARATION STUDIO REGISTRATION
Add registration marks and any "do not print" elements on top layer. Select each channel separately and color with their appropriate swatch.ġ5. When all of the channels are on their own layer, delete the original layer.ġ2. Do that to all of the other channels in order.ġ0. To get each channel onto it's own layer: drag channel one down past the last channel and drop it. The channel layers are sublayers on a single layer. Delete the CMYK image layer, keeping each channel layer intact.ĩ. Open Photoshop document in Illustrator, keeping all the elements as layers (do not flat)Ĩ. eps and drag over to new document artboard.ħ. Put both windows side by side (drag out of main bar)ĥ. All of this is in the new document dialogue.Ĥ. eps file, plus transparency as the background. Create new CMYK Photoshop document to pixel dimenions and Dpi of. Write down exact pixel dimensions and DPI (usually 300)ģ. eps in Photoshop (if you're a screenprinter, likely from SepStudio)Ģ. This is what worked for me, using advice from Amyl64558718 lower on the thread.ġ.
