This is wrong, you can still use the rgb approximations.
- donatj 4y agoSure, you can still use the colors, but they're removing the picker for them.
- CuriousCosmic 4y agoThey are also making it so anything that previously had the colour selected using the picker is set to black unless you pay them a licensing fee. There is obviously value in Pantone and what they do but the digital representation of Pantone's colours should be treated the same way APIs are.
- Bjartr 4y agoBut existing uses of Pantone colors will be appearing as black, not their RGB approximations, unless you pay $21/mo. from November on in Adobe products.
- Angostura 4y agoWhat a ludicrous business decision
- genmud 4y agoHaving been on the receiving end of things like this, it’s likely outside Adobes hands. I had a product where they changed licensing to a revenue sharing model, asking for 10% vs a flat fee. Problem was, only like 3-4 customers out of hundreds were using the licensed feature. Long story short, it made it unsustainable and we quickly dropped the technology.
