Look in the archives for other info on this topic. Generic CMYK is a unity
profile and is NOT to be used for separations! If the file is separated into
this space you'll be sure to have a disaster. Anyone who has Adobe
applications set up would certainly see the resulting disaster onscreen.

A few writers are working on it now. Henrik Holmegaard is knocking himself
silly trying to get this done asap. A specific check list no, but a
correctly described workflow that's up to date is missing. Oh Bruce Fraser's
book is out on Real World Photoshop 6. There you'll find, all you ever
wanted to know but others were afraid to talk about (PS6).
