Well, ANY software would be ovely optimistic, as most vector software,
including Illustrator, is pretty clueless about Lab values, as are many
imaging
applications; but its good to hear that Lab-savvy applications like Photoshop
should be able to extract Lab values from the CMYK patches, though it can be a
long process when they are gridded by CMYK, and the only way to access Lab is
by
search and rescue. So if I have a color specified by its universal Lab value,
what tools does your package offer to assist me in finding its CMYK
equivalent(s) in your process book?
