CS5.5 Can't see Pantone Color Bridge libraries!

Hello there!
I am using Creative Suite CS5.5 Trial version for now on Windows 7 platform. For some reason I don't see Pantone Color Bridge libraries, only the old ones, but none of the Plus Series. I was able to see these colors on version 5, but not here. Can't see them on Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign. I wonder if CS5.5 supports these colors. I even downloaded a plugin from Pantone and Pantone Color Manager, but with no luck. I contacted Pantone, but still waiting for a response. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Pantone Color Bridge swatches?

For my projects I need to work in CMYK with process colors. Today, after looking at my Pantone color guide book here in my office I found a color I wanted to use for a client's project. Next I selected the swatches palette to display Pantone process uncoated colors. To my confusion the color I wanted to use (PMS PC 633) was not in the list of Pantone Process Uncoated color swatches.
I went back to the swatch palette to view the Swatch Library > Color Books list. I see some other options:
Pantone color bridge CMYK EC
Pantone color bridge CMYK PC
Pantone color bridge CMYK UP
Does anyone know what these are? I do see my PMS 633 in the UP list. But I'm not sure what the difference is between these libraries and the Pantone process uncoated, or between these three (EC, PC and UP). Does anybody out there know what these libraries are for and if I can safely use them? Thanks.

Sorry for posting before Googling the topic. Found this:

Great information on this site.

Pantone+ Color Bridge Coated vs Pantone+ Solid Coated

In Illustrator CC-2014, why is there a difference in a solid colour for example PMS 123 when one is used from the Pantone+ Color Bridge Coated and the other from the Pantone+ Solid Coated Library.

The reason for the discrepancy is my last results was that while the Working Colour Space was changed from SWOP to SheetFed, it was over looked that the assigned profile remained to that of SWOP. In the screen shots below Working Colour Space and Assigned Profile are set the same. Printed results closely reflect to what I see on screen with the SheetFed Profile producing a better match in my opinion. Cheers

CMYK Pantone breakdowns different Pantone Color Bridge

I was wanting to know why the color breakdown that Indesign gives for a Spot Pantone color is different to the one specified in a Pantone Color Bridge book. Also the color on screen that Pantone Color Bridge breakdowns show seems more accurate than the ones specified by Indesign.
Any ideas on this or articles that can explain this?
Thanks

One last thing. If I use the 'Standard Lab values for spots' in Ink manager which gives me a better on screen reproduction of a color then I should do the same in Illustrator under 'Spot colour Options' in the swatches palette.
Lab might give you a better on screen preview of Pantone Solid inks (spot color, not CMYK), especially if the color is out of the CMYK gamut.
Lab doesn't necessarily give you a better preview of how the color would convert to process CMYK. If you want a preview of how a Lab color would convert to CMYK, you could check both Use Standard Lab... and All Spots To Process in Ink Manager.

Pantone Color Bridge vs Photoshop

Hello,
I'm curious why my Pantone Color Bridge is giving me different information than Photoshop CS4 for PMS 549. I am in the process of creating a style guide for a client of mine, and he requested the spot, process, RGB and HTML color codes.
Pantone Color Bridge says:
PMS 549C
RGB 94/156/174
CMYK 59/8/9/19
HTML 5E9CAE
Photoshop says:
PMS 549C
RGB 94/156/174
CMYK 65/26/26/1
HTML 5e9cae
The 65/26/26/1 looks a lot closer on the screen (I know, I know...) Does anyone know why the anomaly?

A quick bit of testing shows that your Photoshop setting for CMYK is USWebCoatedSWOPv2 - a pretty good middle-of-the-road profile.
The build from Color Bridge is using a very heavy black generation - probably a lowest-common-denominator approach Pantone uses to give the most consistent color in the face of inevitable press drift in most assuredly unknown press conditions. A crapshoot.
The actual color that comes off a press from a given CMYK build is very dependent upon paper and press conditions.
Tread lightly here when recommending a CMYK build to your client. Include a BIG caveat.

After iTunes 10.3.1, my Apple TV 1st gen. can't see any shared iTunes libraries!

Ok, everything was working fine until iTunes 10.3 came into the scene. Post 10.3 / 10.3.1, my Apple TV 1st gen can't see any shared iTunes libraries...

Hello everyone
I have fixed it! The problem was that Apple TV had tried to connect to the computer so many times the Virus Barrier X6 had decided it was a malicious attack and blocked the IP address.
I fixed the connection by adding the IP address to a trusted list within the FireWall rules.
To do the same follow these instructions
Go to Virus Barrier X6.
Click the 'Anti-Vandal' Tab at the top of the screen.
Click 'Blocked Addresses'. Select the IP of Apple TV (you can find this IP address through your router software). Click the '-' sign at the bottom of the left hand column. If the Apple TV IP address isn't listed then you have a different problem!
Click 'Trusted Addresses'. Click the '+' sign at the bottom of the left hand column. Add the IP address of Apple TV in the pop up box, select 'permanent', add any notes you want to and then click 'OK'.
Turn on Apple TV and it should all be working fine (assuming that your 'Home Sharing' setting are all on and you are connected the the network!).
Hope that helps

Pantone Color Bridge - digital values vs book values?

Hello,
I've had to update our Pantone libraries for the CS3 suite to Color Bridge (for working with a 3rd party). I've downloaded Pantone's library update so I can access Color Bridge via the libraries in Illustrator and InDesign. When I convert from PMS to CMYK, the digital values match that of the book values, but when I do the same for RGB (sRGB) and web, the digital values DON'T match that of those in the book.
Does anyone know why the RGB and web values differ digital to book?
Thanks,
Kristin.

J,
I understood from the other threads that the RGB value set was predetermined by the company, and not to be replaced by something from whomever (even Pantone).
Apart from that, when you have the colour of a Pantone ink and need to substitute it by a CMYK and/or RGB value set, it will always be off in some way or another. And if you need to combine multiple substitute colours, they may very well be off in different ways with the conversions provided by Pantone, which means that they be more inferior to the Pantone inks than they need. Something similar may apply to cases with combinations of substituted Pantone ink colours and original CMYK/RGB colours.
So at least in some cases there may be a better choice of CMYK/RGB values than a conversion provided by Pantone.
In other words: who says that you agree, or should agree, with the (latest) conversion(s) provided by Pantone in each and every case?
It may be worth noting that Pantone themselves have changed their mind about the best conversions more than once.

Pantone conversions to cmyk don't match pantone color bridge

We are having issues at our plant with adobe not converting colors properly. Program using to send to our rip for a di press is Indesign cs6, tried cs5.5 and get the same values.
Example pantone color is 293. We have the latest pantone + bridge and the color break down is 100c 69m 0y 4k but if you let adobe made all spots to process we get a value of 100c 80m 12y 3k.
Any idea what is causing the incorrect values or what I can update to use the correct values?
Thanks.

HI,
In order to get the best CMYK values from InDesign, set your CMYK working space (color settings or Assign ICC to your document) to your DI Press ICC profile.
This way, InDesign will convert from Pantone’s Lab valur to the presse ICC profile’s CMYK values.
CMYK numbers from Color Bridge + are made for european TVI (ISO standard), which is lower that North American standards.
Hope this help!

CS5 Can't See Filters

I just had to reinstall Photoshop CS5. Now I can't load (old) Kodak filters.
CS5 sees the Kodak folder, but the filters don't show up in the list.
The filters are:
1. DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In 2.1
2. DIGITAL ROC Professional Plug-In 2.1
They are 32 bit filters, so I am loading them to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Kodak\
I've tried installing them directly to the above folder.
I've tried installing them to where Kodak wants to put them and then moving them to the above folder.
I've tried installing them to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Filters
instead of \Plug-ins\Kodak, still no joy.
Each time I restart CS5 (32), it sees the Kodak folder but not the .8bf files.
I even reloaded the originals from Kodak. CS5 doesn't see the filters.
Thanks,
Drew

The significant file from the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Kodak\DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional Plug-In 2.1
folder is DigitalAIRProV2.8BF. It is neither Read-only nor Hidden.
The same is true for the significant file in the other problem folder.
I'm not sure what I'm looking for in
C:\Users\Drew\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Plugins
The folders contained therein have nothing to do with user installed filters.
I can manually add
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Kodak\
as an Additional Plug-Ins Folder. That makes no difference. (It shouldn't be necessary because the root:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins
is the default.)
The NoiseNinja plug-in located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\NoiseNinjaPlugin_Win32
works just fine.
So, why not the Kodak filters?

Pantone Swatch values vs. Pantone+ Color Bridge Coated Book values

I'm working with a set of Pantone colors.
Why don't the Pantone's CMYK/RGB values in Illustrator CC match the values given in the Pantone Plus Color Bridge Book?

Photoshop CS5 - Can't see anchors or path outlines. If I zoom in or out, they appear.

Hi,
Since installing CS5 on my PC, I've been having a SUPER annoying issue.
When I do a free transform, draw with the bezier pen tool or anything where you want to see anchors & path outlines, they are invisible. They are in fact present b/c:
if my mouse hovesr over an anchor point (by chance or my estimating where the anchor points are) the mouse tip changes
if I zoom in or out, then everything shows up (anchor points & lines)
Right after I zoom in or out, if I then make a change to an anchor point (drag it or pull it's handles) those changes don't happen live. As in, I can't see/preview what I'm doing/moving. I have to do it, let go, & then zoom in (or out) just to see the current state of anchors/paths.
It's totally unworkable & I don't know how to resolve. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
I'm hoping it's some little setting that I'm just oblivious to...
THANKS!!

They should stay visible. They do normally. You know that with one of the pen tools selected you can ctrl-click on a path to make the anchors visible, right?
But they should stay visible during a zoom operation.
It's possible your video driver isn't implementing OpenGL properly. First thing to do is try temporarily disabling OpenGL to see if the problem clears up. Go into Edit - Preferences - Performance to do this.
Even if this doesn't correct the issue, it's almost always a good idea to visit the web site of the manufacturer of your video card and see if they've released newer video drivers for your card and version of Windows.
Best of luck.

How can I see the color of the hex value in a style sheet in DW CC

I simply want to click on a hex value (#c1c1c1) in a style and see what color it is. I can't find it anywhere. Please help!

I thought some of the answers above felt strange. Why wouldn't DW show you the color of a hex code when you clicked it. So I fiddled around a bit and as far as I can tell, if you click on a hex color within the css of a page (or a css file) the CSS Designer does show you the color.
When I click on #AF070A in my .css file, it shows the color in the Properties sub window of the CSS Designer panel.
You have to scroll down a touch, but it's there...

After install of 2.0 Playbook can't see WiFi and Bridge Apps won't execute

Last weekend I finally bit the bullet and installed 2.0. I installed over WiFi but after the install the Playbook could no longer detect my D-link router (DIR-825). My Bold 9700 WiFi connection is fine. Also, I updated the Bridge software on my phone and the Playbook recognizes the connection but none of the Bridge Apps activate when I touch their respective icons. I've rebooted (3 finger) several times to no avail. I also tried manually connecting to the WiFi but without success. There also seems to be considerable battery drain compared to the 1.0 release despite keeping the Playbook in standby. I assume I'll have to re-install 2.0 and would appreciate any other suggestions as well as any guidelines on re-installing to ensure success and to avoid loss of apps and data. I did a full backup prior to the 2.0 install and will do another data backup prior to reinstalling.

Since we upgraded the software, nothing but trouble. Can't see wireless network, can't connect manually to the computer (to copy files off), can't connect to wireless manually. Totally useless.
Can ANYBODY help?
