1. How To Prepare Photos for Spot Colour
Printing
Advertising nowadays have become one of the most tedious job because of the huge
competition in the market. There are many brands which sell the same quality of products
as yours but the only place where you can dominate others is by creating a colourful and
effective advertising of your agency or firm. There used to be a time where people use to
include black and white colours as a primary colour because it was cost effective but in
the present situation it is not possible to do the same thing. You have to use spot colours
which will be used in highlighting your work. You need to experiment your preparation
at very good level and sort out the best fit for the spot colour. This can be done easily by
the use of Photoshop, which will help you in adding touches of colour. So, how will you
do that? Let us discuss on it briefly keeping all the considerations and procedure in our
mind.

2. You can start it by opening the Photoshop and the file or image which you want to
manipulate by selecting the file>open>select a file and click open. First of all you will
need to convert your image file into black and white format for this select the grayscale
present in image>mode>grayscale. This will automatically change your image in a black
and white image. After this you have to save the image in a JPEG file and close it.
Reopen it after the saving is done and you will see the black and white image after which
you need to select image>mode>RGB colour, which will include the spot colour to your
file. Choose any of the suitable colour by clicking a large and front square placed at the
bottom of the toolbar. Select the text tool from the tools palette. Select and try to drag it
towards the text box in order to add a text into your work. You also have the option of
colour replacement for which you just need to select the colour replacement brush.
Adjusting the size and shape of the brush according to the requirement of the time. After
this you just need to select the element onto which you want to add the spot colour and it
should be enclosed in-between the lines of that particular object. You have to recheck
everything properly and see for the errors you have made before you make a move to
finally print option. Finally, save the project in a PDF format, which will be suitable for
printing.
There are some of the things you should stress on in order to make it an effective and
successful project for yourself. Try to maintain the same spot colour throughout your
photo because any additional colour added to it cannot be supported by the printer or it
will not be cost effective for you. So, it is better to know the limit of your work before
moving on to print it.
