Create Spot Data in Photoshop
7. You can create a flood layer in the same way by selecting the entire workspace (Select All) and
then add the spot channel as described above.
8. It is possible to edit the spot channel as much as you would any other data in a Photoshop
document, making use of such tools as the Eraser.
9. Save your image as a PDF either a TIFF or PSD format file.
[14] Save with Spot Option
If you intend to use this file in a vector-based program such as Illustrator, save it as a .PSD file in
order for all channel information to be carried over. The white spot color is printed in the order it
appears in the Channels palette, with the spot channel printing underneath CMYK data.
When exported as a .PSD to Illustrator, this data will appear above the image data. This is the
correct format protocol for Illustrator. Do not forget to embed the image after you imported it.
