You need to spend more money
Designers using Adobe's expensive Creative Cloud tools will have to fork out more cash if they depend on Pantone Color books.
In December 2021, the creative apps firm revealed its plan to remove Pantone Color Libraries from products. Users will need to buy an additional license, Pantone Connect, to use them in their work.
In August users saw those colours removed from InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop leaving many users seeing their designs in a subtle shade of black. This is particularly bad if you happen to have files from old projects.
The issue here is the subscription model which Adobe adopted and forced users to pay on a monthly basis. While this was costly and annoying, the fact that Adobe could just delete colour books to fleese users for more cash is going to make some users really cross. The fact that Adobe has the monopoly on this type of creative software makes matters worse (anyone who says GIMP is an acceptable replacement for Photoshop has not used either).
