I’ve been using InDesign since it was Pagemaker, but what I do is not rocket science work. In the past, to make an overprint of any image, I’d just make the image solid in either Photoshop for bitmap images or Illustrator for vector images and place the original image on a second page and replace it with the solid version to be sure they match perfectly. Always worked, and still does for most vendors. But now I must create and overprinting layer by filling the appropriate area with a specific vendor required spot color and select overprint in Attributes. I can do this all day with shapes or text or whatnot that I create in InDesign, but I know not how to make the spot color image I create in Photoshop or Illustrator overprint. I use the same swatch from my library, so it’s the same color. I expect that I need to change the graphic into a shape that I can fill in InDesign, but I have no idea how to do this. I suppose this will be so simple as to make me feel like an idiot, but I have no problem with that. Thanks!
