This Enfocus PitStop command allows us to remap colours from one Pantone colour library to another library of the same kind from this manufacturer but with different specifications (another alternative colour space, for example). The purpose of this command is to normalise the colours used in a document so that there are no inconsistencies or discrepancies in colour swatch definitions.
The user can choose one of the conversion pairs between libraries of the same type and version.
Warning: The list of choices is a closed one and new ones can not be created. Only conversions between definitions with different alternative space (CMYK or CIELAB) and finishes ("Coated" or "Uncoated") of the same library are available, i.e. there is no conversion between different versions (e.g. from V3 to V4).
When applying the command, only colour definitions and colour names that exist in the document and correspond to the source library definition are altered. Those that do not correspond to it are not affected.
For example, if we have a swatch PANTONE 103 U (Solid Uncoated with CMYK alternative space) and another PANTONE 120 C (Solid Coated v4 with CIELAB alternative space) and choose the remapping "Pantone Solid-V4 (Coated Lab to Uncoated Lab)", only the values of the second colour will be changed, not those of the first one.
