Photoshop Tutorial - Spot Channels for PrePress and Printing

This Adobe Photoshop tutorial video will introduce Spot Channels. This is the third of four videos about working with channels. We will explain what Spot Channels are, and how they differ from regular Color Channels. Before you watch this video, we recommend you watch the previous Adobe Photoshop tutorial about Color Channels and Alpha Channels, and you can then follow this one with the Channel Mixer.
