Upgraded to CS4 from CS2 and have a few problems – might be bugs, but equally might be me not changing some settings. Any ideas on the following, anyone?:
I work for a screenprinter and use Photoshop to make my own spot colour separations. When outputting to my imagestter I switch on Centre Crop Marks, Descriptions and Labels in the checkboxes under Printing Marks in the Output section of the Print dialog.
"Labels" used to just put the filename at the top of the page, to the left of the top crop mark. Now it puts not only the filename, but the zoom level, channel etc in fact everything from the document’s title bar. e.g:
Untitled 1.psd @33.3% (Spot Colour 1 C/8)*
This can be so long that it runs right across the top crop mark…Am I doing something wrong? I can’t find any prefs that control the content of "labels".
Also, it used to be the case in CS2 that immediately after creating a channel the RGB channels were de-selected and hidden and the new channel was automatically visible, seleceed and ready to edit.Now I find that in CS4 whilst a newly created channel channel is selected, it’s not visible and the RGB channels arent’t hidden. This means I have to un-check the eye icon from the RGB channels and check it on my new channel before I can do anything with it, which seems a bit of a hassle.
All suggestions gratefully received!
