waltonmendelson Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Is there a way to create K-only art? That is only K has values from 00 to 100. Middle gray would be C00 M00 Y00 K50; 100% black would be C00 M00 Y00 K100; etc. Walton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltonmendelson Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 I should have added, this should read as K-only in a PDF. Walton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Have you tried: Creating a CMYK document. Setting the color to K-100 Black. Then never change the Color, except by changing the Opacity.

waltonmendelson Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Thank you . . . yes, I set up a file in CMYK. I set the color to C00 M00 Y00 K50 and made a swatch of middle gray. Yes, when I check the result, the PDF is C00 M00 Y00 K50. But how to convert (I should have said convert, my bad) existing images to K-only values?

If your existing image is JPG, TIFF, or PNG: Try creating a new document (CMYK), and Placing the old image into it. Then you should have a K-Only button on the Context Toolbar.

waltonmendelson Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 A big thank you! I never saw the K-only button. In Photoshop, this is quite a bit more involved. Bravo to Affinity and, again, a big thanks to you, Walt. Walton walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
