Help…. my greyscale image with 1 spot channel is only showing up as a greyscale. The spot channel is being ignored. Why?
I’m running Mac OS 9.2.2 and Photoshop 5.5
Here’s what I’ve done.
1. My photoshop file has a background set to white.
2. The next (single) layer above shows a guy with the shirt cleared (the section where the shirt would be has been cleared so that you see the white background). The rest of this layer is also transparent. So that all that’s on this layer is a floating head, pants and shoes.
3. The channels palette has 2 channels ( 1 black channel and 1 pantone 362 channel)
4. The black channel has the guy’s head, shirt and shoes.
5. The Pantone 362 channel has the guy’s shirt.
6. What’s strange is that I can see the greyscale guy with a pantone 362 shirt when both channels are on.
7. However, when I save the file as DCS eps, the resulting file shows the guy without a pantone 362 shirt. So the area where the Pantone 362 shirt should be, is white.
8. What am I doing wrong?
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
