Recently there was some discussion on this list concerning dot gain
settings in Photoshop and the fact that by default the cyan dot gain
was 4 points higher than the other channels, in contradiction to
typical offset dot gain conditions. It was noted that Dan Margulis
wrote that this was a kludge to fix Photoshop's separation algorithm,
which separated images with too much cyan in them.
My question for this list, and especially anyone from Adobe lurking
around, is this still true for PS 6's separation algorithm? If I am
measuring dot gain with a densitometer of an actual press run to get
proper dot gain information, do I need to add 4 points onto my cyan
to avoid getting images that are too blue? One post seemed to
indicate this.
Any comments?
