412 Exporting spot-color separations from Photoshop

- Alright, so here we are looking at our…three-color, multichannel logo…that we created last week inside Photoshop,…and the first thing I want you to notice about it…is because it's a multichannel document,…versus RGB or CMYK, that we have no layers,…we just have the flat background and nothing more.…Not only that, everything inside the layers panel is dimmed,…we can't even create a new layer,…or a new group, or anything.…And that is the limitation you run into…when you're working with spot colors inside Photoshop.…

If you wanna get access to your colors,…you therefore have to switch to the Channels panel.…At which point you can turn off all but one channel…to see it represented in black and white.…So this is the contents of that turquoise channel.…And so anything that's black is gonna print in PANTONE 3252,…anything that's white is gonna receive no ink whatsoever.…And then if I click on the PANTONE 285 channel,…I see the contents of that layer…represented in black and white.…And the same goes if I click on the PANTONE Black channel.…
