[@vaniad5843]

you dont know how much this vid help me through my college final assignment, thanks a lot!! :')

[@jekalambert9412]

Thank you for this video. I'm in a college Ai course that requires me to work in CMYK, then upload my artwork to a discussion board in RGB. I was shocked by the shift in colors between the 2 versions, so I asked my instructor how to get consistent colors between Ai and .jpg files. Her answer "you just have to live with it". I've had lots of other questions for my instructor that got similar responses. I'm so thankful for your channel with its easy to understand tutorials. It's really sad when I can learn more from your YT videos than I can in a college level course I paid lots of money for. Again, sincere thanks for what you do. Because of your channel, I am able to use Ai much more efficiently than if I had relied only on the instruction in my college class. Now if I could only get my instructor to stop lowering my grade because I work in multiple layers...Gareth, will you come and teach at my school?

[@GarethDavidStudio]

Not really sad, it's actually liberating. This is the future, my friend! I mean think about it, you have a designer here teaching you design and not syllabus!
I'm a designer first, and an educator second. If anything this will push the establishment to up their game!
No more laziness! Best of luck amigo, and stay tuned for more! 👊

[@heathersheldrick3833]

I may be almost 5 years too late, but I could hug you! Been trying to find an easy way to convert RGB to TCX and this technique did the trick perfectly. Thank you!

[@raphael190]

Gareth you have been very helpful to so many of us in the graphics design world. Your step-by-step explanation videos are very well presented and make design fun to learn. That you have made it available for free shows how kind and generous you are. Someday soon when I become a millionaire, I will make a handsome donation. Keep doing what you're doing, God bless you!

[@kazo]

if you are in a hurry, just skip to 1:58 for the actual answer

[@Zerucke]

Thank you, kazo and you, TastyTuts!

[@kcomobile]

Thanks Kazo, I wanted to stab myself in the eye waiting for the 5 second answer that I needed.

[@vladian101]

you're the best. It's the little things.

[@sjcobra84]

Fuck. You are awesome. Many blessings and fortunes be upon you.

[@edwardmargallo3839]

You da man

[@breeze787]

As always whenever I reach out to you TastyTuts I get a very clear answer. Besides clarity you don't waste my time. Thank you very much. You are my go to source for all things Adobe.

[@jonathanperucho8862]

Thank you, Gareth! This video was really easy to follow along.
I had just got off a call with a client who needed the CMYK values converted to Pantone. And this tutorial helped me provide a quick solution. Many thanks, again!

[@MrJboucher73]

Great job, thank you soo much for this video. I'm just trying to self-teach Adobe Illustrator and this is exactly what I needed.

[@joellelissel7549]

Excellent video

[@ErfMuck]

Great timing on this video/ I have almost completed my first profoessional pieces of art which are going to be printed on T-shirts. Up to now I have been copying and pasting and trying to manually guess the colours. This technique will be so much more accurate as well as quicker

[@md.faisalahmedmashum743]

thanks for this video. It helped me to find out the right pantone number for my logo and monogram. thanks again.

[@sethprior]

8 years later and this will still be the most helpful adobe video i've seen thus far.

[@saratakkoush6109]

i Screamed when I saw how easy this was!!! I was doing this manually !!!

[@GarethDavidStudio]

👌

[@danielruzicka3858]

I like TastyTuts tutorials, i learn english of it cause i understand every his word and get know what i need
GOOD JOB !!

[@dn1697]

... this technique works up to a point to get the structure into separate unique ink channels ... however this method depends on the output intent profile of your working color spaces ... if you change the output intent color profile of your working space, the output pantone value will differ ... it's the same problem in reverse with pantone to CMYK ... the output intent profile determines the conversion ... this is fundamentally about output intent on different materials ... in the printing industry different profiles are created for different materials and special finishes ... try converting a pantone in photoshop to CMYK using different working space profiles and you will see what I mean ...

[@dannykochevar6578]

Very cool! Thanks! I can't wait to go to work tomorrow and try that!

[@highvibesonly8296]

You are God for a graphic designer

[@louiseyuan7268]

very neat and clear to understand! Thank you very much!

[@placebo27]

If it's not working, don't forget to click the little arrow @2:13 between "Current Colors" and "New". I had the same problem, now it's working

[@komalsolanki9016]

Very helpful video, thank you very much!

[@designsbyhiroki]

Thanks for this, you're awesome.
So is it inevitable that sometimes we will not reach the EXACT RGB or CMYK color with Pantone, given there's only a select range of colors in that specific pantone color category?

[@ela7513]

So helpful! thank you!

[@SydKrawczyk]

Thank you! Very well done video!
