Save time using the PSD Import to adjust image tints (QuarkXPress)

Tinted images are a great addition to your layouts, but sometimes you don't get the tint right on the first try. It's a drag going back and forth from Photoshop to QuarkXpress to adjust and re-import the image, and you don't have to! Instead, adjust the tint right in QuarkXPress. You can adjust the overall tint setting of a selected channel, such as a spot ink channel in a Photoshop duotone, using the PSD Import XTension.

To adjust the tint of a PSD in QuarkXPress:
  1. Display the Channels pane of the PSD Import palette (Window > Show PSD Import).
  2. Click on the spot color channel to highlight it.
  3. Select Channel Options from the palette menu (the same as you would when using Photoshop).
  4. Adjust the Shade percentage. The default is 100%.
  5. Click OK.
