Rich,
You are absolutely right: Illustrator CS2 NOW SUPPORTS Lab!!!
I say the world has come to a stop. This is the best news for a looooonnnng
time in the DTP business! Thank you Adobe, thank you Adobe and thank you
Adobe for freeing us from the slavery of device dependent color coordinates
in Illustrator CS2 at last!
So, for all those designers out there, stop specifying Pantone colors in
CMYK when meaning spot colors: use Lab!
> Within ColorPicker if you click "From Palette" you can choose 1131 (in
> ProfileMaker 4.1.5) individual L*a*b* value sets from PANTONE. You can
> export the whole thing as a .txt, .Cxf, .aco, .ai, or .acf file. You
> can choose from the PANTONE solid coated, solid uncoated, and solid
> matte libraries.

> This is really not necessary with CS2.

>> In InDesign, designers can use Lab but not in
>> Illustrator (not even IllustratorCS2!)

> In Illustrator CS2 you have both the options of Lab and Book Color.
