Or change the black generation to no black then back to medium.

Must be a better way...cause like when you have 0% cyan...how do you add it without screwing up the highlights in the rest of the photo? Selective color? Dunno

The greatest Photoshop tool ever created for color corrections is a plugin called CoCo. Give it a try but it ain't cheap.

Aurelon CoCo RGB/CMYK 3.5.5 single user license for Macintosh @ € 195,00

You can try a free demo. 30 days I think.

thanks, I'll check that out.

I think we all need these special "tricks" to stay ahead of the curve and turn lemons into lemonade. Our customers have to know that they can count on us to make bad images look good.

yeah, I kinda figure you'd have to go back to rgb or lab to do some sort of correcting to get the cyan back in...

Just having a problem thinking in anything other than cmyk....but I suppose if I try it in rgb or lab then convert to cmyk again there just might be some cyan in there to play around with.....


thanks

I'll bite on the cyan addition.
I would dupe the image and assign a false profile to the duped image that will bring out the color that is missing. Then convert the false profiled dupe to the workspace profile and do an Apply-Image blend from the dupe to the original with the missing color. Either overall or through a mask. The Apply-Image command doesn't matter what mode you're dupe is in, so you can steal color from anywhere.
