Ok I have a weird problem. This might be because I am missing on a save setting of some kind so I would like to bounce this off of you guys, see what I am doing wrong.
We are now into studying trapping, duotones (tritones, quadtones, etc.) and multi-ink. The problem I have is when I save my image file in Photoshop CS2: in order to save in duotone, you have to save the file as an .eps.
When I place it in QuarkXPress 7.3 and do a pdf to check the colour separations, trapping and whatnot, I get a black box in place of the image. I have to then take the Photoshop .eps file, open it in Illustrator and save it there as .eps over the PS file, then update my doc in Quark and everything is hunky dory.
I wonder why this is. The only thing I can come up with is that saving it in Photoshop, the image keeps its RGB settings (you can't save it as CMYK, otherwise you lose the duotone effect) and that Illustrator adds some kind of CMYK info to the file.
Can anyone shed some light? I am so totally lost on this one.
