Hi

I recently had to do an advert for a local newspaper. Created the file in ID2.0 and saved it as PDF.

The newspaper people then said I should have called the PDF into Photoshop in 300dpi RGB, then set the GCR to maximum and saved the file as a CMYK jpeg.

Photoshop Help says that GCR can be set in the Custom CMYK dialog box "In the Custom CMYK dialog box, select a separation type." but Help doesn’t help you to find this dialog box.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sandie,

Edit>Colour Settings.

Select Custom CMYK in the CMYK Settings Dropdown

In the Black Generation dropdown select Maximum.

Save the profile to a CSF (Colour Settings File) giving it a name such as MaxBlack
