In PhotoShop 6, how can I change the behavior of the conversion from greyscale to cmyk? I need for 100% black to remain as 100% black after the conversion, I wind up with 75C 68M 65Y 90K. Because of the gradations in the image that I am working on, I can’t convert the image and remove the unwanted colors because the conversion changes the gradation values when it adds the other colors.
Thanks for your help.
