SimpleSeps Raster
PixelPimp:
thank you very much Steve, that video has helped allot!
I believe he is explaining HSB and how to use the faux HSB mode he
created (he provides a link to a .psd file that has the smart object
embedded in it to optimize creating the HSB. Once you have the image
in the faux HSB mode you can then color separate from there by
extracting colors. To extract one of the colors of HSB you use
Select>Color range. in the color range options, it can pull any of the
HSB colors (Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta (by default it's
on select:Sampled Colors).
I'm still learning about this approach and find it very interesting...
not sure if i'm on the right track even... but i'm definitely learning
new things :)

Just a little update SimpleSeps Raster 1.2 is on deck.. Updates will be free.
Sneak Peek of SimpleSeps Raster Click Seps Functionality Better Than Simulated Process
SimpleSeps Raster Click Seps Feature Sneak Peek 3 Simulated Process Separations with 2 colors
Some sneak peeks. Should be out in a week to 10 days. The sneak peek only reveals a scratch on the surface of the actual update.

Um, yeah, so I have now printed 2 jobs with simple seps raster. Effing amazing program. I have the 3rd one going up later this week. It's a 5 color on sand. It is so much easier to work with these files in corel. Amazingly easy to add text, and other elements.
I am really looking forward to the next update. I will try and snap a photo of the next print job, I think that one will be even better than the first 2.

I love the idea of having a sepped element that you can change the colors on at any time makes laying out much easier.
My concern which will probably keep me from ever buying it is Corel. Corel is just to damn buggy and unstable I wont trust any thing in it any more. I have Toms design base add on and it gives me fits asit is with Corel.
What i wish some one here would do is explain HSB theory and how it works? I am totally at a loss as to what is happening when he executes a seperation. In another forum he is stating that Sim Process is the wrong way to sep and HSB is because of color theory/tech. Not saying he is incorrect so i would love to here from a guru or someone what the hell HSB is and how it works.

This will get you started, I just found it yesterday. He has other videos to explain the background knowledge necessary to understand what they are talking about...

I don't know if it's my feeble mind or the creator of that vid but it was way over my head and like pulling teeth watching it! That said thanks for the link it explained some of HSB but still leaves me in the dark as to how you get seps from it.

My feeble mind is having trouble staying awake while I watch, I know what you mean, but I figure 2 or 3 times through it and some will penetrate the outer skull. I just got a copy of X6, will install it this weekend and start up, then in a couple of weeks check out SimpleSeps Raster.

If you use corel, this is an awesome addition to your arsenal.
