Importer des tons direct d'illustrator à photoshop // Import spot colors from Illustrator to Photosh

Question

Bonjour

J'ai une base d'illustration dans Illustrator en CMJN + 1 ton direct.
Je l'importe dans photoshop (importer et incorporer) mais je n'arrive pas à récupérer mon ton direct. Ce qui est fou, c'est que si je double clic sur mon calque importé (dans photoshop) pour réouvrir dans illustrator, je vois bien mon ton direct. Ce n'est pas automatique comme quand on importe de l'illsutrator dans indesign (indesign retourne bien l'ensemble des tons direct présents dans le fichier illustrator).
Je dois ensuite l'exporter pour indesign toujours avec le ton direct mais ça normalement je sais faire (EPS DCS2).

Est-ce qu'il y a une astuce que j'ai raté pour incorporer des illustrator avec ton direct dans photoshop ?

Merci à ceux qui prendront le temps de me répondre.

Hello,

I have an illustration base in Illustrator in CMYK + 1 spot color.
I import it into Photoshop (import and embed), but I can't recover my spot color. The strange thing is that if I double-click on my imported layer (in Photoshop) to reopen it in Illustrator, I can see my spot color.

It is not automatic like when you import from Illustrator into InDesign (InDesign correctly returns all spot colors present in the Illustrator file).
I then have to export it to InDesign, still with the spot color, but I normally know how to do that (EPS DCS2).

Is there a trick I'm missing for embedding Illustrator files with spot colors in Photoshop?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply.

@leRaF Unfortunately, Illustrator and InDesign, which are vector-based and designed to handle spot color separations. Photoshop is a raster-based program. When you import a vector file with a spot color into Photoshop, the program rasterizes the artwork and, in doing so, converts the spot color to its process (CMYK) equivalent. The spot color information is not retained as a separate channel.

The reason you can still see the spot color when you double-click the layer in Photoshop and it reopens in Illustrator is that the imported Illustrator file is a Smart Object. A Smart Object is a container that holds the original vector data. Photoshop doesn't edit the data inside the Smart Object directly; it only displays a rasterized preview. When you double-click it, Photoshop launches Illustrator and gives you access to the original, un-rasterized vector art—including your spot color.

The trick you're missing is that Photoshop doesn't have the same built-in functionality for managing spot colors as Illustrator and InDesign do. To work with spot colors in Photoshop, you must create a spot color channel manually.
