Pantone Connect unavailable even with Rosetta?

Engaged ,
Mar 30, 2025 Mar 30, 2025

(MBP M3 Max, OS 15.3.2, Ps 26.5.0 for desktop)

I have Pantone Connect (paid subscription). The plug-in used to be available in Ps, but now after a recent update, it isn't. I'm running Ps with Rosetta. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Pantone Connect, and restarted the machine, but no PMS color love. Marketplace says Pantone Connect is installed, and I can use it in Illustrator and InDesign.

 

Any thoughts or suggestions to fix this are appreciated. My co-workers are getting new machines soon and they will encounter this as well. I hope I can offer a solution. IT won't be much help with this sort of thing. 

 

So far my workaround has been to copy/paste a color from Ai to eyedropper in Ps, but this won't be ideal if I need a specific PMS color.

 

(TBH, I think I might just reinstall the old PMS palettes. Connect is helpful but the color picker is hinky. I wish they would put the color number on the swatch so I don't have to hover in juuust the right place to see it. And I'm still going to the book to confirm colors for printing, so nothing has changed except for adding a few more clicks. And having to pay for the privilege. Whew, thanks for the therapy, lol!)

Okay, I figured out how to access the Pantone Connect plugin: In Ps, go to Window > Extensions > Legacy. It will add it to your palettes.
