How to get pantone color from photoshop into indesign?

[Laser_Breath]

How do you get a pantone (say Pantone 802C) from photoshop to import into Indesign where it will separate?

Photoshop image was grayscale. changed to CMYK. colored some parts with Pantone 802C with paintbrush.

Saved as psd file. Placed into IndesignCS. Pantone will not show up to separate.

Unless you created a spot channel in Photoshop and colored parts in the spot channel, you will not have anything separating on the spot channel.

Jeffrey is correct. If you're in CMYK mode, and you choose a Pantone swatch, it immediately is converted to CMYK. (The same is true in RGB mode: It converts to RGB.) Creating a Spot Channel on the Channels palette is the only way to retain spot colors.

Well, almost the only way. The other way is to create a duotone using a spot color.
