There's a few reasons for changing CMYK colors to Pantone. Sometimes you are given a color and need to know the Pantone equivalent or you want to make a tint of a color without losing opacity.
You select the object that you want to change.
Go to Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork
Click on the box underneath the check mark for None in the photo. This limits the color groups to colors in the color swatch library.
Color Books > Pantone solid uncoated. You can choose any Pantone library you like, I prefer solid uncoated.
Click OK
You can now find the Pantone color in your Swatches panel.
To make a tint of the color, move the slider underneath the color bar (small triangle) or change the percentage.
Now you have a simple tint and if this is being sent off to a printer, it would be a one color job.
You also change the tinted areas back to CMYK for home printing by selecting the image and going to
Edit > Edit Colors > Convert to CMYK.
