    @Jann Lipka do you have pantone colors loaded in your PS swatches?

    Do your files contain Pantone swatches or channels? Do you get the error when you create a new document?

    Is this only an issue in the beta version? Normally this pop up only appears when PS detects Pantone spot colors in the swatches or channels (or you have a color fill layer using a spot color, etc.) There has to be a remnant of the Pantone system in either the files you are opening or still in PS somewhere.

      Removing Pantone swatches didnt help 
      I hate this dialogbox. 

      I work all days in Photoshop - and see it HUNDREDS of times. 
      ( specially when deadline is tight )

            Unfortunately I spoke too early - 
            Pantone Whining is back again - 
            Opening layered documents brings it back with full force 🙂

              It seems that the issue was resolved by "reset all warnings " in preferences. 
              ( yes i found it here )
