Would like a higher quality image preview for DCS2. How do I get that?

Sbrem:
Dan, leave the RGB channels at the top of the Photoshop Channels pallet, then export to DCS 2. That (the pretty RGB image) will display in Illy, while the spot colors will come into your color pallet, which you already know of course...

THanks Z and Sbrem,

Here was the issue.  It was not how I was saving my Photoshop DCS2 settings, but rather it was my preferences in Illy.

Behold and beware.  Do NOT have this selected in your Illustrator preferences. LOL.

Sbrem:
I've also just left it as a PS file, with the RGB at the top, the separation channels underneath, and just "Place" in Illy. Sometimes, that doesn't work out, though I'm not sure why, I'm usually too busy to figure it out and go back to DCS... I always had to work on faith before that...

Dottonedan:
Whats cool about the newer Adobe products is that you can create a psd file (art) and save it (merged) as one layer, but not flattened, that had fade outs to the background (nothing) and save them as psd's and drop them into Illy. Change out the background colors as needed. Remember the old WHITE BACKGROUND issues on those older jobs and having to create clipping mask. GONE!

We do/did vector layouts this way with all the color specs and such.
