total ink coverage - photoshop

[CarlosMesquita_influxus]

In photoshop how to get, visually, the total ink coverage value, like to in "acrobat/print productions/output preview/total area coverage" Or would there be a plugin for this specific function?

Thank you!

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Use the Info panel, set to Total Ink:

TAC is built into CMYK profiles, so if it's an RGB file, the conversion will in any case prevent going over.
