Question
What is color separation in Photoshop??

Answer
To answer your question you would have to first describe to me in detail what is it that you would need to be answered. Let’s start with a definition of what color separation is and how it’s used by printers because to be honest your question is too short to comprehend. I will try my best to answer what it means on a whole and not just for photoshop. Color Separations are artwork and photographs split into component plates of the four colors cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) in preparation for process printing. In graphic arts, cyan, magenta, and yellow are also known as Subtractive Primary Colors because along with black, they are the ink colors used in color-process printing.

Please detail your question and I would be glad to help out, or if you would like to know "how to color separate in photoshop" then you can ask that as well.
