• Pantone Color Manager Software

FYI: You have to register with Pantone in order to get that free color software, as well as register your product (serial is on the backside of the fan deck), which is time consuming. On the plus (heh) side, the color deck is much larger and easier to use than using Photoshop's included color deck, and the software will tell you which colors.

Pantone Color Manager Software

A brief overview of the interface as well as how to export colors from PANTONE COLOR MANAGER software to your design application. COLOR MANAGER Software is a robust desktop application that directly integrates values from all of the PANTONE libraries of over 10,000 colors, including the dazzling new PLUS SERIES Colors, PANTONE FASHION + HOME cotton and paper formats and the new PANTONE FASHION + HOME nylon brights into design software programs making it easy to use in your QuarkXPress®, Corel® and Adobe® Creative Suite® design programs. ICC profiles provide optimized values enabling best possible representation of PANTONE Colors on monitors and printers. With COLOR MANAGER you can create your own color-managed PANTONE Color libraries and sync up those libraries to your design software and to the myPANTONE™ iPhone® app.

Image color extraction allows you to pull colors and create palettes from your existing photos and images. Automatic updates make it easy to stay current with your PANTONE Color Libraries.
