How were you able to pull those colors in those specific plates? Are you able to do the same in Affinity Photo/Designer? I dont see how that would be possible with using just layers.Ĭool, I see the separation. I have attached one that we did of someone's painting if it helps. Like the ones used on multi-colored photograph or panting. Similar to the ones you can achieve in Illustrator, I am referring to doing a full 6 color separations. Now, just to be clear, I am not referring to doing a separation with solid colors or some mild halftones.

I would like to see halftone abilities like that of Photoshop in the near future, otherwise being able to control the angles and dot size of our manual Ripping is out the window. It's completely possible and honestly better in my opinion to separate in layers to avoid channel sep color shifting in the example of using CMYK to grab plates. The only thing missing for me is being able to halftone like in Photoshop and exporting in Bitmap (BMP) format. Honestly, I was able to separate like I normally would with a little bit getting to know Affinity Photo (and can do it in Designer as well).

very few good apps for this, being AP/AD among the best options) together with PDF export (which seems well covered, till the point I've been able to check already). To me though, the color mode conversion settings are probably more important of the bunch (I can paint in other apps, but cmyk/print stuff. (I think the brush engine revamp is just as important, as these days is a total need for too many projects, not just pure illustration (my main field now)). These things tend to be very important for pro work. I might just have not yet found my 'AP style' path to it (you know, good apps do the same, just with buttons in different places). As well, I have not been able to find a way to get a convert dialog with settings (dithering in rendering intent (to activate it or not), and if converting with perceptual, absolute, relative, level of ink, etc, etc, etc) when converting from RGB to CMYK, but this thing is surely due to I bought an AP license very recently, I had used AP beta intensively, but not for that particular matter. I think indeed color separation is needed, for not only t-shirts printing at a bunch of companies, as OP said, also for other print related gigs/tasks.
