Spot Picker 2.2
Extension to the system colour elector which allow you to gain colours from the InDesign swatch libraries
In any application written using Quartz graphics (including cocoa and modern carbon applications) spot colours are preserved in EPS and PDF output.
Main Features of "Spot Picker" :
Spot Picker allows you to choose colours from lists in the format used by InDesign ,major ink manufacturers offer their colour cataloguers for free download in this format
Spot Picker will automatically find the closest matching colour in a swatch library.
Spot Picker can automatically embeds the spot colours you use into PDF and PS output.
If you drag a PDF or PS file produced by Spot Picker into InDesign, spot colours are correctly recognised and can be separated in the usual way. This means that you can use non-Adobe applications to generate graphics, then import them into InDesign projects without being forced to use process colour.
If you send a PDF or PS file produced by Spot Picker to a professional print agency, they should be able to print your document using the exact inks you chose. Of course, you should talk to your agency about whether they support printing from PDF with embedded spot colours.
