PANTONE color bitmap transparently
I have a 1 color raster image that I would place in InDesign so that the black areas are a Pantone color, and the white areas are transparent. How I would establish that in Photoshop?

Overview unwantedly convert a color to transparent (!)
Hello
I use a snippet to open png files and save them to gif format (to reduce the size of the file).
The files are a book cover, including an orange background, with red, white and dark gray text and graphics (curves).
Yesterday, it worked well.
Today when I save as gif red color in the image disappears. I guess that it is transformed into Transparent. I see where the red text and graphic lines were is the background orange.
Preview was not doing this yesterday.
Today it is the same on the png files that I created yesterday, so I'm sure that change is in the preview, not Inkscape (which I used to create the PNG).
I do not use the lasso or other tool to select all areas of the picture and enable transparency.
I open the image, choose the export file to gif format and with the box checked and checked alpha, the color red is disappearing and I don't want it.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Thank you.
Do not use the gif. It is an older format, limited to 256 colors. It is quite insufficient for most uses (with the exception perhaps of dubious of these short "animations").
One of the unique features of gif should have 'transparency' - but which has been achieved by stipulating a particular table as color being transparent (and not, as in modern formats, by adding a fourth channel, called "alpha channel" to the series of red, green and blue).
Somehow the red in your translation got to be designated 'transparent color '.
If you want to reduce the size of the file, try saving to jpeg and quality change to achieve a good balance between size and quality.

PANTONE color standard will not launch
I have a ThinkPad W530 with color sensor and Pantone color standard. It has worked very well since I got the computer brand new for more than a year. Since last week, my color Stallion did not launch when I click on the notification "ThinkPad display must be postponed. I have the rotation icon, but it disappears after a few moments. I tried to do a restore and selected a time point before I think it happened. But the system refuses to return to this restore point, because he "can not find a file." What the? I have not deleted all files in system folders, I can't believe that one of my automatic updates has this screwed up. Of course, the message doesn't tell me what * kind * of file is missing.

Help to find the Pantone colors
Hello
I try to use Pantone colors and some of them do not appear when I type the number e.g. 2333 CP. I'm going between different libraries, sex / non-couche, etc., and most of them see fine.
I have about 40 colors to find / match because I use to create accurate models of clothes. It seems to be of those who are 2XXX I have problems with. Does anyone know what is the problem?
Thank you
EmmaThere is a Pantone iPhone app that includes 4 figures. A sample of the color (of modest value) comes with its Lab value (among others). By entering the value of laboratory in the Photoshop color picker, you can see and have precise color. Your 2333 C is 46, 1, 3. (It shows Lab to two decimal places. I rounded it)

I try to refer to a specific Pantone color in Photoshop. I want to use the color library browser, so that I can easily get an overview of my chosen color variants. The color, I'm working with is not available in the original Pantone Coated color book provided with my version of Photoshop. So I downloaded and installed the Pantone color Manager and checked the color I want IS identified in the book lying in the Pantone color Manager. Great! I saved the book of color as a .acb file and installed in Photoshop. But I can not yet select some colors. They exist in Pantone color Manager, but they are not searchable from within Photoshop. Very strange!
Here are the steps I followed to bring the book of the color in Photoshop:
1. launch Pantone Color Manager
2. Select the formula Guide - coated color book
3. perform a search for "2128" and ensure that color exists.
4. choose Save as... and save the file with a .acb (Adobe color book) file. I named it "PANTONE + Solid Coated - V3.acb.
5. exit Photoshop
6 copy the book of color in books color file in Photoshop (/ Applications / Adobe Photoshop CC 2015/Presets/color books).
7. start Photoshop.
8. open the color picker and click the button "color libraries".
9. choose my new book of color in the menu ("PANTONE + Solid Coated-V3')
10 type '2128': not found (Photoshop shows me 212c instead).
I scrolled the book color in Photoshop - color isn't here!
What I am doing wrong?
You want to export the color book. Then it must meet 2-1-2-8 in the Photoshop color picker and I would choose Lab as the color model during export.

I just bought the new Pantone formula guides and there is that a wide range of colors not specced in InDesign. For example, 2441... I searched in vain, and would appreciate some help. Thanks heaps. I guess Adobe have not simply update their libraries? I didn't think the new new samples, which were however...
Apologies - just realize that I have to use Pantone Color Manager. I have "save under" the new library there. Thank you.

How to get gradient Pantone colors?
My customer logo has a shield with a gradient on it, and I don't know how to determine what pantone colors they are. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
If its juice all made from random CMYK or rub generates, then you could open it in photoshop, or copy - paste in it.
You can then use the pipette and the photoshop color picker lets you click to display the closest Pantone color match.
its not always accurate, but it's a good start, you can then look for numbers in the book of pantone and soften it to something that seems closer, or has a substitute CMYK better / build process work.

In illustrator CC under the menu LIBRARY of NUANCES, under COLOR BOOKS, in PANTONE + COATING SOLID, I can not find the green color C 2290 or any green color of the series?
These colors are available? What's wrong?
Standard text:
Update of the Adobe color books:
PANTONE Color Manager does not 'automatically' Refresh libraries; on the contrary, it gives you access to libraries for export in your applications.
The steps to do this are entirely documented within the system of online help installed with the software and accessible from the Help menu. You can find them on Page 11 y. Here's a brief description:
1. If your target applications are open, close them.
2. launch PANTONE Color Manager
3. go on display/Fandeck, then select the library you want to export.*
4. go to file/export/select your application/choose L * a * b * to print or sRGB for Web design *.
5. the library is exported and is now accessible from your target application.* PANTONE Color Manager also allows you the flexibility to assemble and work with color palettes, or apply an output profile for your front of libraries/pallets for export, to provide management of the PANTONE colors for a particular device. Please refer to the 'Help' system for more details.
* PANTONE + Color Bridge libraries must be exported in CMYK.

I loaded the book of color from Pantone of FHI to AI and ID for CS6 my programs, I have a mac mini
why I can't load the same books to PS when I export them is said that they are there, but nothing shows
According to color chart like the other two.
I hope I understand what you want. Swatch file there and there are libraries. The latest Pantone Color Manager is 2.2.0 for Mac and is responsible to ship Pantone libraries to applications you choose as sRGB or lab space via export. You get this app from Pantone, install it on your Mac.
It's free if you already own a Pantone swatch books. PANTONE Color Manager Software with the integration of the library You can download it.
To the color chart, you use Save as...

PANTONE color Mismatch - Please Help!
Hi all
I'm sure this is an old topic, but I'm pulling out my hair at this time to try to understand why a color marked as Pantone Orange 021 C poster completely differently in the two files.
Basically, I was sent a swatch source file to work from (in the form of a PDF document with coloured boxes and their Pantone code written on them), but when I copy and paste a color into my new file or select it from the swatches Pantone, color is completely different and in-depth has different LAB and CMYK colors to the original file.
I see that my new file displays the color as a color of paper, in which case the source PDF displays colors in CMYK... that means that my source file was made using the non-Pantone book more color?
If so, could someone please suggest how I could copy and paste these colors in my new files using the original CMYK values? Essentially, it is important that I keep the colors in my new compatible with the source PDF file - tips on how to do this would be greatly appreciated...
P.S. I use Illustrator CC and made sure that I work in the same evidence in place.
Thank you very much
Yes, your source file was made with old books of color Pantone containing simulation CMYK values.
Since the CS6 these CMYK values are no longer present in the Pantone libraries +, but Lab values are used to calculate the closest possible CMYK simulation based on your color settings.
Lab values for this color have not changed.
If you want to keep the old values CMYK, double click on the nuance in the swatches Panel in your old document and choose: Type color > color

How can I change my design to a pantone color together?
Can someone please help as how to change my document to be pantone 280C?
If the identity of the brand should always be Pantone 280 logo should exist as such. Ideally, a logo should be designed in the expected color, in levels of gray and black & white. Are these are available in the original native format? Always lean towards the use of a vector image format if available.
It is important to know how it is to be printed. My answer "1 - export a PDF ready press and your printer to print all in Pantone 280.» They print everything in shades of gray and run Pantone 280 " only works in traditional offset. If it is digital printing answer 2 applies.
For a jpg file, open the image in Photoshop (or equivalent) and convert it to grayscale (giving it a unique name; save your original).
In InDesign select the image with the direct Selection tool and apply the Pantone color chart.

Why can I not see all Pantone colors in artificial intelligence? IE 2034C
I use AI CC, so I hope that it is up-to-date in all Pantone colors...
Get Pantone Color Manager (it's free with the serial no in your printed swatch book)
and then export the current library yourself.
