Fun times ahead for #Adobe designers. Today, if you open a PSD (even one that's 20 years old) with an obscure PANTONE colour, it will remove the colour and make it black. Pantone want US$21/month for access, and Solid Coated goes behind the paywall in early November.

In the oldest version of Illustrator 2022 still accessible, you can see some Pantone swatch libraries that have been removed from the latest release. The color names inside still might be paywalled in November though.

So... Is this a reference to specific inks for when you do offset printing?
How are the colors not just numbers in a 24 bit colorspace?

But this is not Adobes fault. It's Pantone with her expensive system and they have in the meanwhile moneyeyes.
