I'm brand new to having things like this printed. It's actually for a 2 color newspaper. The printer had me choose a spot color {pantone solid 485, I believe} for the text in Indesign.

Now, I want to use that same color for graphics that already exist. I tried opening the image in Photoshop, converting to Greyscale, then converting to CMYK, and coloring the text the 485 red. It looked fine, but when I used the separations preview in Indesign, it didn't show up properly. Am I missing a step?
