Hi,
I’ve made a chrome effect with some type and have applied the colour overlay command under layer effects. I chose a pantone colour because I’d like to reproduce the file using one colour on a printing press. I wasn’t sure if this would work so I duplicated the file, changed the colour mode to grayscale and then made it into a monotone using the same pantone spot colour. The problem is that when I do that the colour isn’t as bright as it was using the colour overlay effect. Even when I fiddle around with the curve in the monotone dialogue, I can’t get it to match the colour overlay look.
I just wondered if it was possible to output a file successfully using the colour overlay effect – will it output as one colour or do I need to go the monotone route? If I do have to make it a monotone, how can I get the tones to look like the colour overlay effect?
Any help here would be much appreciated.
