Making a CMYK psd file 3 color

[sean3325]

Is there a way to make a CMYK file 3 spot color without flattening layers?

throw out the black channel, and increase the levels in CMY until it looks close enough to how you want it, then print the CMY channels as your seps?

Yep. Deleted Black, changed Cyan to Black and renamed it. Worked perfectly. Thanks!

Oh wait... that merged the layers.... Will do this step before printing.

Duplicate your CMY channels in the channels pallet. Change the C to black and print your channels as seps from the channels pallet.

when you throw out the black channel, I THINK it may merge things. You will need to make your seps from the CMY channels once they are merged.
