Creative Cloud has nixed Pantone Libraries

[Slappy]

Splitting off from the original thread since it appears the divorce is final.

So, in addition to trying to guide clients - what are we supposed to buy?
I mean, will the Free plugin do what we need for every day operations, or do we have to move to the Individual/Business (Teams) that looks like $89 PER User which is insane.

I was worried about this at one time.

Just to add. That is $89 per year. Not per month.

From what I can see on the plugin's page it will include those 15,000+ swatches for free. The paid version adds a dozen or so features to create custom palettes and other un-important sounding junk.

I guess the normal Pantone+ Coated CMYK, Uncoated CMYK, and Metalic swatch books are to remain in Adobe software. I don't think they're up-to-date on the books within InDesign anyway, (still using v2 I think?) but if you have a newer book, you can download the swatchbook and manually plug them into InDesign or any other adobe program.

So I updated the inDesign CC2022 on the "test" mac I have here & all of the Swatches are still available.

Who the hell knows.
