MickRose Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I have a coloured image which goes white when "K only" is pressed. The image is attached. The image was found on a website and tweaked in Photoshop. Converting to a JPG makes no difference.

MickRose Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 I'm just wondering if that is because there is no K component. I thought "K only" meant converted to a greyscale but maybe it just picks out the K component.

You probably need to convert it to greyscale explicitly (which makes sense, given that there are several different possible methods each yielding slightly different results).

Dazmondo77 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I reckon your best bet is probably to use a B&W adjustment layer to tweak the look, then group, rasterise, then right click on the canvas and scroll down to create image resource the your little 'K' will reappear on the task bar, click on it and you have a solid black image - you'd obviously have to tweak a bit to your liking Screen_Grab_2021-04-13_at_13_36_55.mov Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.2.1 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.1, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.2.1 www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 WTF I can't find the option "convert to image resource" or similar in the (German) Windows version of Photo.

If I create a Cyan box and export as a JPEG, I can paste that JPEG into a CMYK document and use "K only" succesfully. I agree that there might be better ways of doing this but I still don't know why it doesn't work with the original file I uploaded.
