Changes to Pantone Color Books

ORRRRRR, you could use some software that doesn't require you to become a complete slave to the money requirement for creativity. Just a thought...

Pantones were always the bane of my existence. Doing ad design for a newspaper, I'd get clients that submit images or PDFs that would go overboard with the Pantone and we'd have to convert it to something we could use, because we didn't have permission to use it

Pantone+ CMYK Coated and Uncoated Libraries are incorrect after last update.

UPDATE: 

Photoshop versions released in August, September, and October 2022 will continue to render Pantone colors Gray/Black unavailable. Updating to the November 2022 version of Photoshop will fix this workflow.

I have a workflow in which I use many software from adobe and corel and gmg and esko and studiorip .. 

The fact that adobe eliminated the pantone solid coated color libraries and the fact that they changed the way the pantone + solid coated libraries are made .. affects my work and I cannot rely any longer on adobe updated software because all my other programs I work with no longer interpret correctly the PSD files made with the updated soft from adobe.

I have international clients I work for that need changes and updates to their old / existing files and products . I cannot work with adobe updated versions because the software language for the color libraries / books / swatches has been changed for certain pantone libraries and elinimated for other pantone libraries.  My PSD files that contain pantone spot colors, made before august '22 are no longer editable with the new updated software regarding the Pantone spot colors... these colors are no longer supported in the updated sofwere from adobe.

My other programs (not from adobe) that I use no longer import correctly the files I made with photoshop 23.5.1 or 23.5 that contain spot colors from Pantone .. This greatly affects my work and my workflow and this is not normal. I had to reinstall a older version of photoshop so I could work again and have consistency through my workflow.

Adobe should not change or eliminate pantone color libraries and not take into account that designers use also other programs that use the same pantone colors.. designers need consistency and reliable software. The fact that pantone colors from adobe progreams no longer work in other programs is not acceptable and this affects workflows and this has and will have huge implications. The customer / end user should not suffer or pay more due to disputes over licensing fees between Adobe and Pantone.

Please restore the old color libraries / books so we can have consistency and reliable workflows again.

i think the price was fine for Enterprise customers... paying $ for buggy software has become the norm & the idea that normal people used this system i think misses the point

to be clear: Pantone Connect does not work with Photoshop to create spot color channels.

Adobe needs to address this.

you can add swatches, but those swatches are in the color mode of the art (RGB, CMYK, etc.).

Adding a Spot Channel from the Channels menu means looking up the color from a color book file (.acb). If no acb files are present, you cannot add the color.

The only alternative is to enter the Lab values manually, based on data in the Pantone Connect panel. (Which only runs in Rosetta, btw.) This is not only tedious but is prone to error.

Adding spot channels is basic functionality that's been present in Photoshop since the beginning. It's functionally gone now.

I realize this is largely Pantone's doing. (And Adobe's failure to agree to Pantone's pricing.) Pantone's failure to address how spot colors are used in Photoshop, as well as the functionality of a plug-in that only works in Rosetta, for $5/month/user.

Was this a decision that Pantone made or did Adobe decide to stop paying the licensing fee? Either way, if you read the app review comments, this is a disaster:
