![]() I really don't think Adobe are abandoning print, and I doubt they will do until the rest of the world does (which, let's be honest, is inevitable in the long term).Īnd unfortunately, there are countless people being payed to create artwork for print (I won't use the term 'designer' here) who are specifying colours purely on their uncalibrated monitors, using the wrong swatch libraries, colour spaces etc.Īdobe is already distributing Pantone. Maybe there are legal reasons Adobe can't just generate the ACBs and distribute them (effectively reselling them) with their software. ![]() acb files into your next release of Creative Cloud. Some people might take this as more proof that you're abandoning print altogether.īut here you go - use the link above, put the new. I would have thought that the brilliant minds that create this software might have done a search or two, or just exported the files themselves. Now, you, Adobe: I would have assumed someone at your organization would have already thought of this. (Or just update your design software for the latest changes.)" I bought the book - the instructions should be, "use this serial number to log into our site and download the latest digital library files. ![]() Or does anyone here know of any designer, anywhere, that doesn't use a physical swatch book for picking colors, where the particular color is critical?ĭon't make me jump through hoops, Pantone. That would be just about everyone using PMS colors in their workflows. (I suppose it does have some functionality useful to some, and for them it might be worth the money.) But anyone who's bought one of their swatch books has access to them. acb files simply available for download on their site? In theory, they want money for their program. So, if anyone with a swatch book from Pantone can register their $40 software and export and then distribute their color book files, why aren't the. Me: I found a link to download them - Dropbox - PantoneColorBooks What I was looking for, from either Adobe or Pantone, was just the updated files to download. That, however, points out some glaring inconsistencies, on the parts of both Adobe and Pantone. If that's an acceptable solution, can anyone provide a link or URL to someone who's already exported all these files so I can spare myself the trouble and just download them all? acb/.aco/.ase color books and libraries, and distributing them to all of the other workstations? Now, assuming I download the updated files on one workstation, is there anything preventing me from exporting all of the. Not the dozens I would need to keep each individual workstation updated - to say nothing of actually making sure all of those workstations are updated. However that only gives me *ONE* license for the Pantone Color Manager software. Individual design groups - typically around a dozen people, give or take a half-dozen each - do purchase updated Pantone color books. I manage literally hundreds of workstations with the Creative Suite installed. The "solution" is to pay additional funds to Pantone for A) color books, which include a registration number for a free copy of software for keeping the digital color books up to date or B) a standalone copy of the software. Thank you for any assistance on setting this up in CS3 Illustrator (or pointing me to location with info).So, to be clear, although Adobe claims in its sales literature that the Creative Suite (now Creative Cloud) supports the Pantone color system, it does not, out of the box, include all of the latest colors - regardless of how recently the Suite has been updated.Īdobe is claiming that Pantone has not given the colors to them to include in the suite - even though Quark has them. In doing this, I was able to download CS3 and it gave me the WHOLE SUITE!! So now I have Illustrator (CS3) and everything else that was released back then!!! so going to be learning Illustrator (didn’t have to buy Affinity after all to my surprise). Googling showed that Adobe had retired the servers but they had a link to go to that you put your serial number in and it gives you a new number (and deactivates your old). ![]() I tried to install on this desktop but kept getting a ‘internet connection’ error. I have CS3 and didn’t see a reference to this edition, would one of the other Adobe versions work? I originally had just Photoshop. I have been cutting some simple things but now we are starting to design some things we want to control the order in which they are cut…looks like I might need this. It blows mine as well! I think I need to read this EARLIER in the day while the brain is still functioning.
