I've got some CMYK themes I use for my print work, but now the option has gone!

    The CMYK values this site generated were never useful because they were not based on any known print standards. So we are very glad Adobe removed them.  Use the Lab values and you can make the correct RGB and CMYK values in Photoshop or Illustrator or indesign or wherever you make your art.

      At long last, this option has been removed. Thank goodness. The numbers were NOT correct for any ICC profile, and it was dangerous to put them out there as if they meant something.

      Thanks for that, I didn't realise, a bit of a newbie. I found it quite handy, I could import the swatches easily to my docs.. but looks like not ideal. You think Adobe would have a little FAQ and explain why they removed it and how to work around it.
