By no means am I a Photoshop expert. However, I have noticed a tendency for
Photoshop to favor black. Photoshop was developed with the needs of the
printing-press people in mind, and black ink is cheaper. In any event,
there are a myriad of ways in which you can control the quantity of black.
In your "Color Settings", you should select the UCR button, and not the GCR
(which I'm assuming is where you are seeing the "low black", although now
that I check I see that it offers, for black
none/light/medium/heavy/maximum, so maybe you are somewhere else?). Anyway,
select UCR with black ink limit of 100% and Total ink limit of 400% for
starts. Tweak these setting if you want even less black. If you want to
make even more drastic changes, start increasing the dot gain figures. I
guarantee that bigfoot will be tamed in short order.
