thank you all. i went with cloned suggestion which resulted nicely.
i'm aware of full black vs. just black. thing is this is for screenprinting and i need all the black in 1 channel so i can print a film.
anyways 400% is impossible though. that will take ages to dry. from most printers i know the maximum total is between 250 and 300% which is still enough. if you give a printer a cmyk doc with each ink set 100% you're bound to run into verbal abuse :)

depends how your printing it. Sometimes if you want it to be an intense black you can add more colour (depending on the paper or surface of course)
Some of the Rally stuff i'm doing at the moment they ask for thier black to be 100k 20c 20m 20y
I think the call it super black in printing when you use %100 of each innk

under image> adjustment>gradient map (I think it's gradient map)
you can specify a 0k to 100k gradient and it won't get turned to a rich black within a CMYK file... might help

i guess you're right. hmmm... looks good though. have to do a couple of tests and compare. i'm afraid for losing details.
anyways, on another note, i replaced it by 100% K and when i check the channels again it again is over all 4 channels. weird. ps7 is weird. always have weird issues with it.
but cheers, i think this is the smartest way to go!

hey there,
i have this photoshop file in cmyk and somehow it happened (no idea how) that all the black isn't just black but made up of a bunch of cmyk values and i need it to be pure black so it just show up in the black channel since i need to print it out on film for screenprinting purposes.
what's the best way to do this? fyi all that black is made up of the same cmyk combo (75 68 67 90) how do i get all these values into the black channel?
i'v read something similar before here, however i can't find the thread anymore.
any info / directions / help is appreciated a lot.
