As for naming the swatches, I think I can do that but have not explored swatches much except for setting up a swatch palette for the design.

Might that include the page name you refer to?ДЄnywho.I am just doing seps for my 6 color manual press so Im pretty sure I can identify which color each layer represents.

I notice there IS a check box in the AD print setup menu for inserting registration marks and 'page information'. But I haven't found names for the layers (I presume you are referring to the colors?) But they could actually be in there somewhere. And it's in 'film' form (as opposed to color). There seems to be a corresponding layer for each color. Im still trying to figure out what exactly I do get back in AD when I import the eps created in Sep Stu. I am brand new to this tho so have yet to actually print anything thru it. Thanks again for taking the time to help! Yes I do have Accurip Black Pearl.

Might there be a way to use it to do seps? * What about Affinity Photo? I just got it the other day and have not had time to play with it yet. So now Im a little gun-shy about forking over another $200-300 clams for yet another app that may or may not do what I need. You have to take it back into your design app to add any vector elements back in and print it. It is basically just an expensive color tweaking tool that then issues the separations of only the raster elements. * Are there any suggestions for another app I can use to separate my designs done in AD? I shelled out $800 for Separation Studio and then found out that it doesn't really do the whole job of separating the designs. I just hate that Corel doesn't run native on Mac and of course I hate the price tag. * Does anyone know if it is in the works for a future update? If it's not even a pipe dream yet, then I am going to have to drop AD and start learning Corel. Im still hopeful that I can find a way to get around the issue until it becomes a feature. Had I known this about AD, I would not have chosen it as my design app. With so many people needing this seemingly simple feature, I find it mind-boggling that AD does not have this capability right out front.

You will get stunning print results, while color separation is not a tedious process.I am still working on coming up with some sort of work-around for how to do color separations in AD (as it appears many have tried in the past). Photoshop is the most suitable popular color separation program, which, together with Magic Buttons, has become even more convenient and efficient.

The standalone color separation software lacks these capabilities. You can prepare a halftone file in Photoshop, and the caption, for example, in Illustrator to keep the edges smooth. For example, a file for color separation contains halftone multicolor art and a clear-edged lettering. And a situation is quite possible when you have to constantly switch between Photoshop and the program for color separation, export and import files.ДЄdobe has a whole package of programs, the capabilities of which you can also use. But for the user, nothing will change, except for the appearance of the program. This is a laborious and costly process that will make the software product more expensive. Photoshop has a large set of functions that it makes no sense to copy in another shell. The user already understands the Photoshop language, and he does not need to rebuild and learn a new interface, he can immediately start color separation.ДЇunctions and tools. He knows how to use basic and advanced tools, he has experience and understanding of the program. I would like to tell you a little about why we chose the format of the add-on to Photoshop, and not a separate program.ДЄs a rule, a person who wants to understand color separation is already familiar with Photoshop.
