this may seem like a stupid Q, but whats the best way to mock up printed pages? have some mag spreads I have designed and wanna make them look like an open printed mag spread.
is the only way adding a gradient over the top of it and change transp to multiply?

not sure what you mean completely but do you want to make your electronic layout look like a printed one?
would not a good drop shadow do the trick?

yes - make elec layout look printed.
but I want the spread to look like an open magazine spread, you know how the shaddow runs up the spine etc. like as if its printed and I just photographed the spreads....

if you have a scanner, just scan in some white pages from a book. enlarge in photoshop the scan to fit the height of your magazine. export your spread as a pdf, open in photoshop and lay it on top of your scan and tweak using transform – warp.

take a photo of an open magazine, then in photoshop delete all the magazine content. Then replace with your magazine content. easy
