Pitstop globally change colors

[rande]

Pitstop or any other way to globally change colors of raster files in a multi pg book? - thx

 

[abc]

When you say 'colors' what exactly do you mean?
Can you give a specific example please.

 

[rande]

we have a book of nuts and bolts. they're 4 color, mainly black and yell. We want to separate them and make them 2c. black and pantone yell.
BTW. they're raster files.

 

[abc]

That's doable. Can you send me a couple of sample pdfs and I can send you the results and settings.

[rande]

there you go - thx

 

[abc]

You mean like this. CM are empty. Or would you prefer Black and a Spot Yellow?

 

[rande]

yes we'll need yell to be spot

 

[abc]

Here you go. K and Spot Yellow. Plus I added the Action List to do it.
It works on all content at the moment, If it needs tweaking let me know.

 

[rande]

thanks a lot. really appreciate it. I'll get into it and see if it needs any tweaky.

 

[rande]

I have this one and tried to tweak the action and it didn't work. can you give me an idea on whats wrong with this pictures? - thx again

 

[rande]

I still don't have a handle on this adding bleed thing. can you give a clue on what I did wrong on this? It ended up throwing it down to the left corner. They seems to work sometimes and not others. Or direct me to a video? - thx

I'm travelling at the moment so unfortunately I don't have a lot of time free, so the best thing I can suggest is send me the files along with a note of what you are trying to achieve.

I will then cover these in my next PitStop Training Webinar at the beginning of April.

ok. thx

i have another one I need to get out. 4 color. break downs of 2727c-293c-382c. i need to make those pantone colors.nothing is working. I plug in the values. remap it to what i want. but the 3 pms colors share channels. not sure how that works. do the PDFs need to be saved a certain way? Could you run me thru your whole process? - thx

 

[abc]

That's an RGB image, that's not going to work.
You'll need to do some work in Photoshop for that one.

 

[rande]

thats what i was thinking. thx
