Question

Is it true that Pantone is paid?

I am using a translator. I'm sorry for being awkward.

I saw a Twitter post this time. When I read the article, I saw a rather absurd article called Pantone Paid. Does that mean that people who do the painting with Photoshop have to pay more now to use the color? If this is true, I will ask. It's hard to understand with common sense that you're paying with a subscription system and suddenly even changing it to a fee.

I would appreciate it if you could answer if you know about this situation. You can speak comfortably in English.

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 did not see any difference in 24.0 Photoshop. All the same stuff in Legacy Swatches.

The change happens with your next update to 24.5.

What change? You remove acb files? Or Lab support? Or what?  Will Acrobat still work?  It appears Acrobat doesn't work anymore.

Pantone pulled out of Adobe and is now available only as a Pantone plug-in:

Pantone colours are licensed for a fee from Pantone. They were always "paid". Either Pantone increased the proposed fee and Adobe decided not to license the colours, or Pantone decided that they could make more money charging individual users per month than they could with a licensing agreement with Adobe and pulled out of licensing to the CC apps.

 

Pantone solid spot colours make no sense for digital painting, where you can have any palette of colours within the gamut of your working space.
