What color settings do you all use for PS? Currently I have:
CMYK-- US Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Adobe-- RGB (1998)
...and I've noticed that in CMYK mode, both CMYK colors from the picker and Pantone colors don't "exist" onscreen as what I chose in the first place. As an example, I cna make a new CMYK document, choose Pantone 354c, fill the document, and when I colodrop it, it comes up as Pantone 339c. Likewise, if I set up a CMYK color as 87,0,19,0 and do a fill, the colordropper picks up 87,0,19,0 but the filled color in the document looks a lot darker than the colorbox color. (Does that make sense?)
I've never noticed this before but I'm trying to match a Pantone color in Quark to an image that'll have part of that color, and I need them to match up. But if I choose the Pantone and it ends up switching to another, I'm afraid there'll be a definite line where the image and Quark color box meet. I know that PS won't "use" the Pantone but rather the CMYK equivalent, but to have it jump to another Pantone entry altogether after filling is slightly worrisome.
Sorry if this was confusing; I hope someone can make sense of it.
