How to change channels output screen frequency in PSCC?

[darrenGPI]

Hi all, How do you find these options in PS CC 2017? I'm trying to output separations set up in channels and I need to adjust the screen frequency for individual channels. This image is from PS CS4. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi

I think that was removed in CS5.

The only way I know of (and I am no expert in separations so hopefully someone will chip in who is) is to use "Split Channels" in the channels dialogue, which separates into new documents, then convert each to Bitmap using "Halftone screen" giving the dialogue below

Thanks Dave! Yes, splitting channels will work but a pain in the butt if it's a 12 color separation. Thanks again for the help!

Depending on what your are doing, if you have access to Illustrator it may be worth a look as it's print output does have the screen options, set out similarly to those you showed in your screenshot. See example below
