Adobe Photoshop/pantone colors

Advertisement


Question
I am using adobe cs and I have created some graphics in indesign.  The printer is wanting the pantone colors for my graphics. All of the colors I have used have the cymk color formulas.
I have done the drop down in the color library but it seems like I can not find a color that is close.  Is this my only options or can the system convert my cymk colors to the closest pantone color.  For example I am trying to find a very dark brown almost black, like a dark
chocolate candy bar very rich. The pantone library only has black or lighter chocolate colors.  Any help would be wonderful!

Thank You,  kevin Smith

Answer
I am not sure but I think the softwares has the capability to convert the colors automatically,


but to confirm you have to ask or maybe try the experiment. I would have tried but i do not have indesign in my PC now.

feel free to ask anything further
