Issue

When working with hybrid designs using spot colors and solidity in the Panel the resulting output appears different. 


Solidity 100%:


Solidity 0%:


Cause

This discrepancy occurs due to limitations in retrieving the channel color when the alpha channel in the design uses a color from Photoshop’s color book. Photoshop’s color book uses proprietary formats that are not directly accessible by neoTextil. 


Workarounds

  1. Avoid using Photoshop color book for Alpha channels. Use manually assigned spot colors or predefined colors that do not rely on Photoshop's color book.

  2. Define spot colors manually in Photoshop or neoTextil for better compatibility.

  3. Check the alpha channel settings in Photoshop and ensure the colors are not linked to the color book.


Recommendation

  • To prevent discrepancies, always review the color settings of the alpha channel before importing the design into neoTextil. Avoid relying on Photoshop-specific features that may not be compatible with external tools like neoTextil.
  • This limitation is inherent to the current version of neoTextil. Updates may address compatibility in future releases. Always refer to the release notes for the latest improvements and fixes.
