To be honest with you, I don't have any idea how other people color seperate. I only know how I do it. Whenever I do a design, I build it in seperations from start to finish. I damn sure wouldn't want to try to seperate a done design down to 6-8 colors if it was all flattened. I may have as many as 80-120 layers as I am designing, but each layer is a color. When the design is done and approved, I get busy condensing everything down to 8. It may be a long way around, but it is the only way I know how to do it and it works flawlessly for me so.....I know some people do it in channels, but I don't know anything about it. Layers only for me. If you ever have a question, feel free to ask. I am no guru, but this is all I have done now for the better part of 10 years give or take.
