I would like to know how to export a 2 color *.cdr creation (logo) as an *.eps such that it has two grey scale layers each representing the two spot colors I chose?
You'll need to specify what colors you want.
I mean, add separate sport color to both.
By exporting your object/s that are only Gray.. it will show up as gray...
I did pick a pan 299c blu and black for the logo. I used the Models to blend between the blu and black to get a greyer blu being carefull not to alter any other setting. When I export for eps I get all these options to pick from not knowing what to pick. When I open the saved to eps in Adobe Photoshop there are no layers. Everything shows up full color as in Corel OK. Am I missing something or is the printer that rejected my eps not knowing how to extract the grey scales? I would like to see the grey scale files too. One for Black and one for 299c Pan
EPS files are not really intended to contain layers or separations though there is a variant called DCS (document colour separations) which uses plural pages and one separation per page.
CorelDraw mentions DCS in the help file, though only to the extent of describing the mnemonic. I'm not sure if it can actually create one. There doesn't seem to be a separate DCS export filter, nor is there a relevant option in the EPS export dialogue.
Photopaint has a DCS export filter, but restricts you to creating bitmaps not vector objects.
I'm a little confused with your explanation, Ken.
So I'm not sure if this information will be helpful or not.
But if your using a spot palette, you can set your seperation options in Corel and then save (print to file) a .ps file.
I don't know what happens to it when you bring it into PhotoShop, but I do know, for sure, if you import that .ps file back into Corel, you'll get each color (each color sep) on a separate page.

ThanksWhile it is nice to have it come back to corel it still does not solve the problem of giving it to a printer that wants the output in two grey scale files that represent the two spot colors. Maybe I am using the wrong format eps. So lets start over. How do I output two grey scale files that a printer can use to make plates from that represent the two colors I picked, Black and Pan 273c. Something still is missing here.
