URGENT - Ability to Properly Export Images WITH SPOT COLOURS to TIFF File Format.

Many UV, DTF etc printing machines REQUIRE files be saved in TIFF format for ripping/printing, including spot colours for white and varnish... no PDF!

I've tried and tried but can't get CorelDraw 2026 to export successfully into this format and keep spot colours intact. Either flat solid spot colours or gradient spot colours.

I have a subscription to CDGS and Photoshop both renewing in a few months and I don't want to keep both. I'm trying to get CorelDraw to do the job so I can drop Photoshop but it won't cooperate. I'm new to this but it really seems Photoshop makes working with spot colours easier than Photo-Paint or CorelDraw.

Since TIFF files support spot colours, I don't know why CorelDraw apparently doesn't have this ability implemented.

Please improve the TIFF export to properly support spot colours ASAP!
