This project is for making a post card where we can show the client different options. We first picked a copyright free image from istock photo. Then I brought it into Photoshop and changed the size and the resolution to 300. I made sure it was sized proportionally and not skewed. I changed the color mode to CMYK and saved it as a flattened tiff.
Everything is the same for this one except I changed the color mode to grayscale.
This one is called a duotone. They are always saved as a EPS file. To do this is a few more steps than the past two. Fist you convert the image to grayscale, then to duotone. We are printing in CMYK so i had to choose a color from the pantone process book. I chose like a blue-ish color. The other color will be black because if you use two different colors such as red and blue, they will mix and make purple. After that i just adjusted the colors as i saw fit. I then saved the file as an EPS.
This one is called a clipping path. I chose to do this with the CMYK version of the post card. First, you draw a selection around the area you want with the pen tool. Then you save that path as path 1. Select clipping mask for path 1 under the drop down menu. You should see the text of path 1 change to outlined type. Then you save as a flattened EPS.
