    Turning a photo into an ellipse? HELP!

    Forum, I have a photograph of an elephant that I would like to cut and paste "into" an ellipse and be able to add a colored background. Can I do this in PS or can I convert the file somehow and make it an ellipse in Illustrator? I want to get rid of the current BG which is black (will use...

    Update on the 2 Color Changes in CMYK (Rantin Al!)

    the text is separated but not rasterized. i made everything in PS which is probably not the program to print directly from, BUT the printer said they could work with it. They work on a PC as do I.

    Update on the 2 Color Changes in CMYK (Rantin Al!)

    how frustrating!! as though you have to sacrifice your art so that a printer can work as least as possible??! [stuned] well, i refuse to not do the work i am happy doing just because someone who is getting paid (and perhaps i am doing it for free because i enjoy it!) doesn't want to...

    Update on the 2 Color Changes in CMYK (Rantin Al!)

    You are exactly right...I agree! The only downside to this fiasco is the invitations I created are through a non-profit organization and perhaps "this" means that printers don't have to spend as much time working on them since they aren't getting paid that much. This doesn't mean they...

    Update on the 2 Color Changes in CMYK (Rantin Al!)

    hey Rantin Al and forum- just wanted to update you on the status of the CMYK and "gold" spot channel fiasco.... we received proofs from the printer yesterday, and all i can say is i'm not very happy. first of all, they took forever to actually get started on the work. secondly, when i sent...

    Need help! Changing to 2 colors in CMYK

    I'm just grateful there is a forum that helps out...goes above and beyond! This is the second printer we are using, and I also think a lot of our problems with it has been that the printer doesn't want to have to check into it (i.e. laziness). I appreciate the help! :D

    Need help! Changing to 2 colors in CMYK

    Stick Diesel- It is very confusing but basically (as I was told) there are no "gold/metallic" colors in CMYK. I picked the gold color (sampled it and filled in) from the 4 framed images (which are in gold). Since I had to assign the "X" in a pantone color, they told me to just use a yellow...

    Need help! Changing to 2 colors in CMYK

    Rantin Al- You are the best! Thank you so much for checking into the problem AND getting the solution. I was able to get the channels separated. Now if only the printer will be able to work with it!!! I even printed out your instructions in case they come back with a "what did you do?"...

    Need help! Changing to 2 colors in CMYK

    hey again! i can't believe that you remembered this file! well, we changed printers....one who knows photoshop better since, at that time, it was the only program. the "new" printer does not know PS but knows Illustrator! (it's a never-ending saga!) anyway, she told me that i need to...

    Need help! Changing to 2 colors in CMYK

    Hi forum- I hope you can help me in this last minute act of desperation!! I have an invitation (front) which consists of white text, gold framed images, and a swooping "X" in gold. I've had a lot of problems with this file, and now the commercial printer has asked that i provide the file...

    Why is the font layer not cooperating?

    Hello forum! I hope you can answer this question since I am pulling my hair out! I've created a text layer (the letter X) and originally arranged it to be sent to the back of another layer, which is text. After creating the X as a spot channel and filling with black, the X now appears OVER...

    Layers vs. spot channels

    that's great! thanks for the post. question: how did you get the entire text to appear in the channel? (i've already created the layers so i'm going back in order to avoid re-typing everything)...or did that occur after you flattened it?

    Layers vs. spot channels

    Erik- Thanks for the info. I am building this in PS because it is the only program I have (don't yell at me! i'm just starting out, and i'm broke!) :) I will be saving as an EPS file (or DCS?) since the printer has to take my PS file, plug it into his PS (MAC based) and/or Quark to...

    Layers vs. spot channels

    spot channels vs layers Erik- Per your response... When you Ctrl-click on the (for example) text layer, you will get the same effect as right-clicking on the text-layer icon and choose "select layer transparancy". When you then go to the channels pallette and press the second button from...

    Layers vs. spot channels

    Hello! Here is a basic question... When I am creating a spot channel in the channels palette, do I also need to create a layer in the layers palette? I've already created some text in layers, and instead of starting all over again to create spot channels for the text, I was told I could...
