Is it possible to print color seperations in PSE, either on paper or electronic format? I've got to send something I created to the printers but I'm not quite sure if PSE can handle it.

I'm so confused about the site... I didn't know that there were going to be all these changes

For colour separation you'll need the full photoshop. There is a way to do CMYK separation with Richard Lynch's Hiddenelements tools, but I think you have to be very proficient with prepress techniques to get good results anyway. Normally, this job should be done by the printing service who knows the parameters of their processing. If it's a one time job, maybe download the CS3 trial version? or find an older PS version at a good price?

thank you michel, we do have a limited version of PS6 so i'll do some digging around that & see if I can figure it out!

My ex-husband was a printer and according to him your best bet would be to give the printer an original photograph if that is what you're looking to print. Best to leave the color separations to the expert. Anything you print is going to have little tiny dots which would be picked up by a camera taking a neg.
