    Fuggin Adobe and Pantone! Just saw a notice in InDesign pop up stating "Some Pantone colours may no longer be available due to changes in Pantone’s licensing with Adobe".

    Apparently we now need to fork out an extra $60 a year (to Pantone) to fuggin access the Pantone colour library in Adobe products.

    Further info says... "Pantone’s licensing with Adobe was adjusted. Due to this change, customers will need to purchase Pantone Connect licenses to access Pantone colors in Adobe Creative Cloud products."

    Wow! Fugg those khents!

    • How was that a good decision for Pantone and Adobe? Surly it was in both parties interest to come to an agreement.shapesalad
    • so if we have the Pantone swatches IRL we can't pick colors 'cuz Adobe CS doesn't have the colors anymore?!

    • Wut? Just make a spot colour swatch, call it whatever it is in the book and the printer will do itsausages
    • that's a DTP hack, not a "feature" in 2022 in the main apps for fucking design

      Adobe is openly adversarial to its users now!      grafician
    • Not a hack. If you spec your Pantones from Adobe swatches on screen and not a book you're doing it wrong.sausages
    • LOL
      And I suppose Adobe isn't reducing its pricing by 60/yr to compensate? Fuck them.      Continuity
    • ^ this ofcgrafician
    • Yeah, this is shit. Hard to believe it's not entirely megaCorp Adobe's fault, although given how much Pantone branding I'm seeing on landfill tchotchke...Nairn
    • ...perhaps Pantone's business model's fairly fucked. Quite why there isn't a viable OS equivalent for coordinated colour specs, I don't know.Nairn
