Re: Custom color-separations in Photoshop?

Thanks, Alberto.  After I sent that first post, it occurred to me  
that maybe I'd bookmarked the page, and sure enough there it was in  
my bookmarks.   Anyway, I don't think anyone talking about using spot  
channels to achieve Keith's goal is supposing it could be an  
automatic process like default Photoshop CMYK separations; Keith is  
right that Photoshop won't do that.  But it is a way to use Photoshop  
to get the separations of secondary colors that he wanted.
