Why can I not set dpi in a multi channel file?

I was sent a file that was saved in "multi channel and cannot do the settings I need to do for output. cannot add registration marks, cannot resave as a lower version file and cannot set the dpi I need for screenprinting. I have only been doing this for 20 years and of course this is the first ti,me I have had this problem and the customer is out of town and needs the job at the end of the week.

Open the multi-channel file and Select All>Copy>New, which will let you make a new grayscale image to the same pixel dimensions:
Then you can simply drag and drop the spot channels to the new file. Here my multi-channel spot plates are set as Pantone 7495, 212, and 279:
I can then save the grayscale as a PSD (DCS is no longer needed), place it in InDesign (InDesign does not support a multi-channel color space so it has to be GS, RGB, CMYK, plus spot channels), and either print separations with crops at a chosen line screen, or export the spot separations to PDF.
If you want to skip the InDesign step you can save the grayscale plus spots directly to PDF (PDF/X-4) from Photoshop:

  • Why can I not set a member attribute when there is only one child below the member?

    Why can I not set a member attribute when there is only one child below the member?The "member attribute" tab on the properties window of App Manager is grayed out. What am I forgetting?TIA,Craig Wahlmeier

    Most likely because Essbase is creating an implicit share relationship between the two members, which is causing the association tab to be grayed out. Tag the parent member with the "Never Share" attribute and see if that fixes the problem.Regards,Jade-----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

  • When creating a DVD face in Photoshop 13 my save options are limited to .PSE and .PDF.  Why can I not save as a jpeg or other file format?  This was never an issues in Elements 10 (my previous version).

    I just recently purchased Elements 13. I am in the process of creating a DVD face for a video. The design is complete and I would like to be able to save it as a JPEG so I can use it in another program that prints my DVD's. The problem is that it only allows me to save the file as at PSE or a PDF. No other options are available. Why is this?  I upgraded from Elements 10. In Elements 10 I have never had a problem saving this type of project as a JPEG.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    ANSWER FOUND!
    Once I finished composing my question I went back and spent some time to figure out the problem. Rather than choosing the "save as" option, which doesn't work, or attempting to choose "export" (grayed out), the correct option is to choose "export creation", which is near the very bottom of the initial drop down options. That works!  I still think it would make sense to have it as an option in the "save as" area.

  • Why can I not save my changes to an Excel file in Numbers?

    I opened an Excel file in Numbers and made some modifications.  Now, trying to save it to a numbers file, I get the message, "The file 'filename.numbers' couldn't be opened.  How can I save this file?

    oddly, i needed to restart my computer for another issue (i could not hear any sound no matter what i did).  luckily, apple has had the insight to include automatic recovery of files and i was able to re-open these applications and have my unsaved files intact.  even more strangely, i was able to save my file with the original name.
    as a pc & windows convert, this whole thing was a little disconcerting.  perhaps i am just used to that environment, but i have never had something like this happen there.  (though perhaps i have had other things... )
    thanks for the attempts to help!

  • Why can I not resize Finder windows by grabbing any side or corner

    I love my Macs and Leopard having used PCs for 15 years. But one annoyance of the Mac OS is the inability to resize a window by grabbing any side or corner like I can do in MS Windows.
    Being able to resize a Mac OS window by having to grab the lower right corner is a very limiting especially when I have a number of windows open at one time. I would think with all of Apple's sophistication that this would be a simple convenience to add.
    Are there any utilities out that that add this functionality to Leopard?
    Thanks for sharing in advance.

    He said he'd been using PCs, not Macs, for 15 years. I also find it annoying that I cannot resize from any corner or side, and that the maximise button on each window seems to do something totally random.
    When you change from one OS to another, do you really expect them to be the same? Then why change? It's like changing from a LH drive car to a RH drive car. It takes a few minutes and that's it.
    Different OSs are different otherwise they would be the same.
    You don't have a powerful Unix system lying under a Windows GUI and you don't need anti-virus software or have to defrag every day or so. And you do not need to reinstall every month or so or ever get caught in DLL-heck.
    Yes Macs are different from Windows machines. I regularly use both and have no problems with either. Whether the gearshift and rearview mirror are on the right or left does not matter to me. I like either.
    I'm not sure what disk fragmentation, reinstallation or DLL-**** (never heard of DLL-heck) have to do with the OPs question and observation about being able to drag any corner when you have a screen full of windows. Sounds to me like an attack in desparate defence of OS X instead of constructive discussion.
    I also regularly use both, professionally, but there are things that Windows does better than OS X, and there is no reason why OS X could not improve. For example, why can I not selectively remove (i.e. completely destroy) files from my trash?

    I searched for the program, found it, but the buy button is totally unresponsive. Other some other programs work, others do not.

    Is this the film Outlander ? If it is then it's rated 15 here in the UK - do you have an age rating set in the Parental tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) that is protecting the buy button ?

    If you still can't send or receive MMS messages
    To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS.
    Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
    Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
    If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
    While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
    If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

    You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
    I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
    Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
    Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
    Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
    Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.
