Implementing the spot color changes
There are some professional printing issues with the new DRAW but this can be gotten around by printing from .pdf. The changes to spot color allow you to import duo and tritones made in Photoshop and then imported as .pdf. I found that in experimenting with Channels in PhotoPaint that it was a hard import to get the effect into DRAW. I ended up making a .psd and then a .pdf in Photoshop and importing to DRAW that way and that worked.
Once the spot color rendering of the parrot was brought into DRAW, I could mix, some with transparency, others with shadow painting and set some even to overprint to change the way they would mix with the other colors enabling me to get some green in the wings and some blacks from the overprints of the three colors.
There are lots of possiblities of new things to try when using spot color that will keep designs with limited colors more creative than ever.
In order to export a .jpeg that was able too see the changes in color with transparency and everything, I made a RGB bitmap backup copy and used that to export to .jpeg.
Hope you like it.

Every day's a new day, "draw" on what you've learned.
