Apepp One Last Question...

[benjibighorn]

Thanks apepp!
If I was going to place the spot color artwork on top of the Photoshop CMYK file, in Indesign, what do I have to save the spot color artwork as so that Indesign recognizes the spot colors within the artwork? The artwork was created in Illustrator, so could I just save it as an eps or ai file, and then import it into Indesign? Which file works better? Thanks again!

Ai works fine for spot colours as does EPS. If you want to see a preview of the artwork as an .ai file then you have to save it with a PDF compatible file, just follow the File>Save As> and the dialog box and you will see the option there.
