1. Re: Is there a way to get the colours in CC to mirror those in CS6?
Monika Gause Nov 28, 2014 7:50 AM (in response to Midge123)Are those versions on the same computer?
Colormanagement set up the same?
Exactly how do you convert the colors?

Jacob Bugge Nov 28, 2014 9:42 AM (in response to Midge123)Midge,
I am afraid you have different PMS libraries.
I believe you can just copy the CS6 libraries into CC and use those; maybe (depending on the exact names) you will need to rename to have both sets in CC.

I don't think so.
Just tried it.
The result for this specific color should be identical when color management is set up the same.

Jacob Bugge Nov 28, 2014 12:00 PM (in response to Monika Gause)I thought there was (yet) another change there, Monika.

tman69 Nov 28, 2014 1:13 PM (in response to Midge123)CS6 uses the older standard PMS to CMYK values--CC uses LAB values for spot to process conversion--copy the color libraries from CS6 to CC and the original values 'should' be available--but--you may need to change the color values for each specific color by first changing LAB to CMYK, then changing the numbers.
I work for a large printing company and we have to do this all the time - especially with 'corporate' color builds.
note: color management will not fix this!

That was CS5 and CS6.
Both CS6 and CC use the new Pantone plus libraries.

tman69 Nov 28, 2014 2:44 PM (in response to Monika Gause)oops--you are correct (I was thinking of CS5)--so the only solution is to 'manually' change the conversion as stated in my previous post (which is what we do to maintain corporate builds)--the LAB builds are problematic for proper color matching to older PMS definitions

The solution totally depends on the specific workflow and on what you're after.
But apart from that what's happening here points to differently set up color management, which is a problem in itself and should be solved no matter how the conversion is handled.
