      Hi all,

      I’m making a photographic coffee table book and have been instructed to add a spot varnish after the fact. Gah! Each photograph (318 of them) has been placed and an object style has been applied.

      My question is this: Can I add a spot color as a fill color to that existing object style, or do I need to make a new layer and create an additional object (box) over each image?

      Thanks in advance!
      Liz

      This is hard. Perhaps you could edit the object style to have a spot color fill (assuming the frames have no fill already). But then you’d need to delete all the images (there’s a script to do that) before printing that plate… hm…

      If all the images are on their own layer, you could dupe the layer on each spread, then hide the one with the real images, run a script to delete the images on the dupes and fill with spot… would have to be done one each spread, though.
