Anyone have any ideas how to add effects such as "bevel & emboss" to a spot color channel? They want the job to end up as a "2 spot colors only" job (no process colors) but they also want the bevel & emboss effect originally used on the 4-color process version. MAC OS 10.2, Photoshop CS

"They" will be lucky……

However, you CAN add an emboss effect to a Grayscale channel.

So perhaps your best answer is to make your spotcolor channels into separate grayscale images; make your Effects; and then copy/paste those Grayscale files back into new channels in a new Grayscale document.
Make the PMS channel into a spotcolor one.
Place the file in InDesign and Export to a PDF.
