PatchTool 2.7 (Mac)

Overview:

PatchTool is designed to: Visualize color lists as color patches (color spaces: xyY, XYZ, L*a*b*, L*C*h*, RGB, CMYK, and spectral data) Import color lists defined in industry standard file formats (CGATS, CXF) Switch between the Measured, Random, or Visual layouts of ECI2002 and IT8.7/4 color charts Import color lists saved in plain text format, as saved from spreadsheets or word processors Import and export spectral data scaled between zero and one or between 0 and 100% Import and export spectral data defined in a range of either 380 to 730 nm or 400 to 700 nm Import RGB data encoded in 8 bit, 15 bit, 16 bit, or scaled to 100% Measure color patches on your display and verify your display calibration (White Point, grey ramp, primaries) using a DTP94, Eye-One Pro, Eye-One Display, Spyder2, or Spyder3 Compare a patch in a file to a patch in any other file, and get the color difference value Compare two files in the same window and get detailed statistics on their differences Facilitate the proofing printer and monitor certification processes defined by IDEAlliance Average color lists using either a weighted or un-weighted method Turn and mirror patch layouts, flip rows and columns, or rename and renumber color lists Re-order color lists according to any user-selected color space coordinate (or spectral value when available) Convert color lists to many standard color spaces (xyY, XYZ, L*a*b*, L*C*h*, RGB, CMYK) Export color lists as text files conforming to the CGATS standard format Export RGB in 8 bit, 15 bit+ (i.e. Photoshop 16 bit), true 16 bit, or scaled to 100% Export color lists to Munsell color space Export color lists in a simplified Tab-delimited format for text reports and spreadsheets Export color lists in many image formats (including TIFF-L*a*b* and TIFF-CMYK, 8 and 16 bit) Export color lists to be used as 'Color Decks' in the BabelColor CT&A program (sold separately)
