TONE spot colors will be saved in the EPS file as spot col- ors, and also with color values in the selected mode. If you print color separations from an EPS file in another program, you can usually output process and spot color plates, or just process color plates, depending on whether you specify spot and process sep- arations or process-only separations. For DCS Format Select a color mode for the separations stored in the EPS file: •    Select CMYK to separate all colors, including spot colors, as process (CMYK) colors. •    Select CMYK + Spot to separate all colors, except spot col- ors, as process (CMYK) colors. Spot colors will not be con- verted to process and will be separated as spot colors. When you use DCS Format and print color separations, the program you use simply outputs the color separation plates as defined in the DCS file; it does not apply its separation method or options to colors in the file. Therefore, if you want to be able to output process and spot color plates, you should select CMYK + Spot Color Mode when you use DCS Format to save illustrations in EPS files. Transparency Rendering Select a method for SpriteLayer and SpriteEffects rendering into EPS format. These options are similar to the rendering options that are available when you print a document. To render effects, choose Smallest Area, Complete Area, or Entire Document. Smallest Area results in rendering the minimum area necessary to show transparency and SpriteEffects. Complete Area renders the minimum area, plus any object that touches the rendered area. This setting can prevent a slight color shift between rendered and non-ren- dered areas within an object. Entire Document renders everything in the document (or selection) as an image to be saved in the EPS file. If you choose Don’t Render Transparent Objects, transparency and SpriteEffects won’t be rendered. Rendering Resolution Select a resolution for rendering effects. In general, you should specify a resolution based on the publication requirements for images.
