This is a request from those that do CMYK prepress work in Photoshop.
We are often having to convert images to CMYK profiles with custom ink densities to match certain publication standards.
There are profiled ink densities of all four inks that equal
240
280
340
etc...
The only way to check out the work we do in Photoshop is to generate a PDF of our file, Open it in Acrobat,
Go to Tools,
Output Preview
and check the Total Area Coverage warning.
It is Way too many extra steps for something that needs to get possibly re-adjusted in Photoshop.
It would be amazing to have this sort of preview within Photoshop. It would enhance productivity and file quality.
Unfortunately, I don't think there are too many pre-press operators that visit this forum but i can say that the prepress community is massive and would benefit greatly from this.
See the attached image of what I have to do in Acrobat.
