Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
Eric,
I am not sure I understand your post. But if I do, then you should be able
to copy the Cyan channel to the clipboard and then paste it into an new
file, the result will be a grayscale image that represents the Cyan tones.
If that is not happening then something might be broken. If you want the
Cyan color channel to print as Ccyan then why not make the other channels
(M,Y,K) have zero% using a tool like Curves.
