Nehemek Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hello, I have the following issue for which I can't find a solution anywhere I've looked. So, I got this artwork and I need to prepare it for printing. I wish to export each CMYK channel separately so I can create the half tones. Howver, when I disable the channel on the Channels studio, and then export the image I don't get the grayscale of the enabled channel, instead I a full color export. Is there a way to export just a single channel or better to straight create a layer from the channel to do the half tones directly on the file? (this is what I want to achieve) Thanks for your time! I'm using Affinity Photo for this but I've got both in case I needed to use Designer. -Nehemek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 For what you are doing I think you would want another program to do the separations such as Acrobat or a RIP. It's the same reason why we don't, at our printshop, have Indesign or Illustrator handle separations. They just aren't very good at it. Acrobat can handle the imposition with plugins, edit all objects including editing EPS and other embedded PDF's that other ones just can't do very well.

fde101 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It might work if you disable one channel, clear the image, then re-enable that channel and export; then undo the clearing of the image and repeat for the other channels? Yes, that is a poor substitute for having such a simple feature integrated, but it might work in the interim... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
