Photoshop has limited infrastructure for RIPing, color-separating work. Hence ppl use specialised RIP software to RIP CMYK images.

But to color-sep the CMYK file in to 4 positives of C, M,Y and K, in deep black color tonal range, we need a SOftware.

I thought this Forum must have solutions and QTR an all black system, will have specific steps to color-sep a normal CYMK file to half tone positives.....

I request more insights in this field, how it can be done.

Thank you dongba...
