you can specify solidity for displaying channels on-screen and printing color
composites.
Channels specified as mask channels in Photoshop are imported differently
than channels specified as spot colors. In Photoshop, mask channels are
assigned an opacity setting, while spot channels are assigned a solidity setting.
Since PSD Import supports ink solidity, mask channels are imported with a 0%
ink solidity. To see mask channels in imported PSDs, you need to manually turn
on the mask channels in the Channels tab of the Advanced Image Control
palette. Spot-color channels, on the other hand, retain the solidity setting saved
in the PSD file and are mapped to QuarkXPress colors by default.
Use the Channel Options dialog box to modify the color, shade, or ink solidity of
pixels in a spot-color or alpha channel. To display the Channel Options dialog
box, simply double-click a channel in the Channels pane of the Advanced Image
Control palette (Window menu).
Working with indexed color channels
By default, when you print color separations from QuarkXPress using PSD
Import, the colors in indexed color images separate to CMYK. You can override
this by creating a spot color or multi-ink color (Edit > Colors) and assigning that
color to the selected indexed colors in the image. Advanced Image Control also
allows you to create spot colors from colors in the indexed color image. Indexed
colors that you do not modify will still separate to CMYK.
Working with PSD paths
You can also use PSD Import to choose among embedded paths for specifying
clipping and runaround. The Paths pane in the Advanced Image Control palette
provides convenient access to the clipping-path and text-runaround functions
in QuarkXPress
Using the Paths pane, you can select different clipping paths to use for text
runaround contours. To select a text runaround contour, click the empty box in
the first column. The Text Runaround icon displays and the text wraps around
the contours of the clipping path.
For text runaround to occur, the picture box needs to be in front of the text. If 
the text is not wrapping, select the picture box and choose Item > Bring
Forward or Item > Bring to Front.
You also can use the Paths pane to control the display of an image by selecting
a clipping path you created in Photoshop. To select a clipping path, click in the
empty box in the second column. The Clipping Path icon displays and the area
of the picture within the selected clipping path displays.
