*excellent tools, a basic for graphic arts*. Pantone has increased the price of Bridge Book 100%, I call it abuse. when I purchased the Formula Guide, the Bridge was "almost" same price and I bought it in same period. Now the Formula Guide is average $250 USD, while Bridge is $500 USD _prices and average in Mexico_
thanks for the heads up on Pantone Color Manager!! Just need a simple solution for a digital version of the color bridge to accompany the books, hoping "connect" is it. cheers!!
Hey Joshua, I'm finding Connect is actually really good. It just sucks that you really only get the best out of it with a subscription. The free version in my opinion is pretty much useless. Not sure if you've watched it or not, but I did a review of Connect on a live stream: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IdjoiYX2UJ0.html
Thank you so much for this video! 🙏 I'm wondering, how difficult or easy is it to search the guide by RGB or CMYK values, rather than starting with a pantone spot color and then checking the cymk/rgb conversion? In my case, I'm starting with a RGB color (which I know isn't ideal) and am trying to figure out what the matching rgb and cmyk values should be.
Thank you so much for this pretty informative video, I have one question what should i choose in the artboard before get started (CMYK mode or RGB mode)? I design printable stuff
If I specify a bridge color code, how likely is a vendor going to know it's a bridge color? Or should I be specifying spot colors and reference the book for the CMYK equivalent when presenting to the client?
If you have very bright colours in RGB, you will struggle when you change to CMYK because CMYK doesn't have as wide a range. If you are working on a creative project that needs to be printed at some point, you should always start with CMYK. This video will help to explain: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aELb7A_-Qaw.html
Hi! Do you know why Pantone Colour bridge printed guide doesn't match the colour numbers in specified in Pantone Connect ? And speaking of Pantone connect ..and Pantone online ... the solid colour guide colour instance of a colour is visually different from the Colour Bridge (solid) instance of of that same colour? Isn't Bridge supposed to be showing us the solid ink next to the cmyk approximation? So why would the solid inks be different between guides in Connect? Makes spec'ing out a brand guide maddeningly confusing. What's best practices for using Connect/Bridge book for outlining brand guidelines? THANK YOU in advance for any clarity can offer!!!!!
