converting custom spot colors vs transparency
Posted: Thu Jul 15, 2021 5:43 pm
Hello! I am Running PitStop Pro 2018.
My need is to update pieces to custom spot colors to meet branding requirements.
When I use the Rename Spot Color rule, I am able to change from the old naming convention to the new naming convention without an issue.
When I use any other methodology – Remap Spot Color, search for a CMYK value to convert it to a custom spot color, etc., it knocks out any transparency from the object and we are left with surprises.
The need to update by CMYK values is very important because of the source files we run into . . . is there a way to do search for (the CMYK equivalent of Custom Spot Color #1) and change fill color to (user swatch Custom Spot Color #1) while maintaining transparency?
Further, when I search for the old custom spot colors and convert to the correct/updated CMYK values, can I then convert those CMYK values as above, without losing the transparency?
Thank you.
