This is cross posted from the Photoshop NG. Please forgive me... :)

Hi,
I'm getting two different CMYK values with a Pantone color I'm using in
Photoshop and Illustartor (CS1 for both).

Both documents are in CMYK mode, one is a PSD, the other an ai.

In Photoshop, Pantone 674C translates into C23 M75 Y7 K0, but in
Illustrator it's C9 M67 Y0 K0

What's up??

Thanks!

DB

Don't depend on application conversions. Download the new Pantone Color
Bridge support files (swatches) and add them to you apps. You may need to
