How to Create Spot Data in Photoshop
5. Select New Spot Channel from the Channels menu to open the Add Spot Channel dialog.
[47] Add Spot Channel
6. Within the Add Spot Channel dialog, enter the following information:
• Name – Enter the name "Spot 1" or "Spot 2". This name is specifically reserved in RIP-Queue
for this type of workflow, using any other name requires more steps to make spot information
addressed by the Rip software.
Note: For instructions on how to use a naming convention other than Spot 1 or Spot 2, refer to
the sub-section at the end of this section "How to Name Your Spot Data".
• Opacity – Set the opacity to 10%
• Edit the channel COLOR by double-clicking on the swatch. Set the spot color in PhotoShop to a
color similar to the spot ink in your printer. Since white can be hard to distinguish, this COLOR
can be any value that will help you see the design better.

Click OK to save your changes and close the Add Spot Channel dialog.

You can create a flood layer in the same way by selecting the entire workspace (Select All) and
then add the spot channel as described above. The example below shows what your workspace
may look like with a 50% and 100% flood fill. If you need to see your image for editing purposes,
simply turn off the visibility of the Spot Channel.
