Re: [Digital BW] Howto generate a B/W test strip

2004-03-03 by Bob Frost

Kurt,

Create a new file in Photoshop of whatever size you want - 8x1 inch or
whatever. Select the gradient tool and drag it from one end to the other of
the new file. If you have got the correct type of gradient (black to white)
selected (look at top) you will get a black to white gradient. Then go to
Image/Adjust/posterize and select how many steps you want. Hey presto, one
test strip.

Does anyone have any pointers for generating a test strip for
printing in Photoshop? Are there any actions floating around for this?
