It will be interesting when someone sends a PDF in made with "Adobe Color". When Adobe makes that change it will take Kodak at least two years to make that change in Prinergy so I'm pretty sure Prinergy will "poo the bed" when that first PDF arrives and tries to process. It is just too bad I won't be there to see it.   

I assume Adobe will plan on wanting to sell Adobe Color ink to printers too. Good luck with that.

And it is too bad abc isn't at Enfocus to make an action that converts Adobe Color to Pantone.

At Adobe <===========

Oh and they do have a website for "Adobe Color"

And from the Adobe FAQ page:

Pantone color
What are Pantone Matches?
Color themes on Adobe Color can now be instantly converted into Pantone® colors which are used in printing, textiles, and manufacturing. Use these colors in Adobe applications when creating your designs. 

How do I convert my color themes to Pantone colors?
Open a theme and scroll down to Pantone Matches. Open the Pantone Matches menu and select the Pantone book you wish to use. Your swatches will automatically be converted into Pantone colors. You can download an image with the color information, or an ASE file which can be used to add your Pantone colors to the swatch panel in Adobe applications.

How do I use Pantone colors in Adobe applications?
Your Pantone color themes are available in the Libraries panel. In Photoshop, double-click a swatch in your theme to add to your active color. In Illustrator and InDesign, right-click the theme and select Add Theme to Swatches.

WHY???

[David]

what if I just want a single color? I don't need a "theme" for a 1 color job.

WTF??

I'm sure they will offer a subscription to their new way of making you work harder.




...thank you, can I have another

WHY???

The old saying "if it ain't broke...don't fix it" comes to mind in this situation.

Why yes you can sir. Would you like a kick in the groin with that?

Any idea if they still going to allow exporting of formula guides into Adobe creative suite applications?

ie:
buy the uncoated and coated books. 
use code on back/inside of the books with Pantone Colour Manager application [app is now activated when you use the code(s)]
export  the formula guides into the creative suite applications (illy, indesign, photoshop) to have a recent set of colours and not a set from... creative suites release?

It's not yet clear who instigated this.
Adobe pay Pantone a license fee to include the libraries. They may think it's too expensive.
Pantone may not want that relationship any more, and want to monetize including the libraries another way.

Time will tell.

Oh, you just know Adobe's gonna find some way to get money out of this. Oh, it screws up your work? Reminds me of a line from Goodfellas. "F you, pay me."
