PatchTool 2.6.0 b154 Description:

PatchTool is designed to visualize, manipulate, re-order, average, compare (with statistics), convert, and export color lists in a color-managed environment. You can export a list as an image, in plain text format, or in a CGATS compatible file format; you can also export lists as color catalogues to be used within the BabelColor CT&A program.

PatchTool is a multi-purpose tool for averaging, manipulating, viewing, converting and exporting color lists.

With its Gamut Tools you can convert colors using one or two ICC profiles, check if a color list will be clipped by a profile conversion, determine the gamut volume of a profile, and generate fixed pitch color lists.

Its Display Check tool enables you to measure your display characteristics using a built-in set of patches, or the patches from any opened color list. Supports the Datacolor Spyder2 and Spyder3, the MonacoOPTIX (X-Rite) DTP94, and the GretagMacbeth (X-Rite) Eye-One Pro and Eye-One Display.

PatchTool 2.6.0 b154 Features:

· General features
· Compare, convert, and analyze colors from any RGB space and color catalogues, two colors at a time.
· Measure colors using the Eye-One line of colorimeters and spectrometers. Transform your spectrometer into a full-featured densitometer, a powerful color-stability analyzer (virtual light booth, color inconstancy, metamerism), a multi-purpose spectrum viewer, and into a unique instrument dedicated to the analysis of monitors, light booths, transparencies illuminators, and ambient light as per ISO 3664.
· Designed for Windows and Mac. Although the interface is very similar on all platforms, the menus are laid out and labeled according to the user-guidelines for each platform.
· Includes many tutorials to learn how to use the program features and, at the same time, better understand color technology.
· Includes a complete help manual with basic color theory and detailed equations. "HTML Help" is used in Windows while a PDF file (250+ pages) is provided for the Mac. All help documents contain thousands of hyperlinks, for easy navigation, and a complete index. You can keep and use the Help even if you do not buy the program!

· Color translation and comparison
· For RGB spaces, input data in RGB, L*a*b*, L*u*v*, or pick a color in the "xy" chromaticity diagram.
· Input data using a connected colorimeter/spectrometer. Supported instruments: GretagMacbeth Eye-One Display, Display 2, and Eye-One Pro models. Supported instruments measuring modes: reflectance, emission, ambient illumination (when available for a given model).
· Select amongst twenty RGB spaces and one custom space. Pre-defined spaces include Adobe (1998), Apple RGB, Bruce RGB, CIE RGB, ColorMatch, Generic RGB, ProPhoto, and sRGB.
· Navigate through, and convert from/to, thousands of color chips from four well known color catalogues (also called Color Decks): British Standard 5252F, Munsell, FED-STD-595B, and RAL CLASSIC.
· Add your own color list as a Color Deck using the "BabelColor CT&A Export" dialog of the PatchTool program, which converts color lists saved in CGATS, CXF or plain text format to the Color Decks database format.
· Compare and convert coordinates between two RGB spaces, two color decks, or a RGB space and a deck.
· Get color coordinates in eleven different representations and variants (HSB, Hex #, L*a*b*, L*C*h*, Munsell HVC, etc.).
· When using a colorimeter/spectrometer in emission or ambient measurement mode, obtain the Luminance (cd/m2) or Illuminance (lux), as well as the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT, in kelvin).
· Get color difference values in seven industry standard formulas and variants (DeltaE*ab, DeltaE*uv, CIE94, CIE94-textile, CMC(1:1), CMC(2:1), and CIEDE2000). You even get a color difference when the two compared colors are characterized with different illuminants.
· See the individual numerical contributions of DeltaL*, DeltaC*, and DeltaH* to the total DeltaE difference, as well as Delta h*.
· Identify clipped coordinates (out of gamut) when converting colors to a RGB space.

· Custom RGB space
· Define an RGB space with custom primaries, a custom illuminant, and a custom gamma.

· Spectral tools
· Supported instruments: GretagMacbeth Eye-One Pro spectrometer (all versions).
· Supported instruments measuring modes: reflectance, emission, ambient illumination (when available for a given model).
· Density tools: Reflection Density, Dot Area, Print Contrast, Apparent Trap, Hue error, Grayness, Saturation. The ideal tool to measure your prints Dmax!
· Metamerism tools: Hunter Metamerism Index (MI), Special Metamerism Index (SMI), CIECAT02 Color Inconstancy Index (CII), and a virtual light booth; ambient illumination can be measured and assigned as an illuminant.
· RAL tool: get the RAL DESIGN coordinates of a color patch.
· Graph tools: acquire two spectrums and perform basic spectral math operations (Add, Subtract, Average, Multiply); compare your ambient illumination or flash spectrums to the spectrum of an ideal blackbody or D-series illuminant; user-selected colorimetric data can be displayed for both Observers (2 and 10 degree) and many illuminants; get the illuminance (lux or lux-sec), the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT, in kelvin), and the Color Rendering Index (CRI) of ambient and flash sources; get the luminance (cd/m2) for emission sources.
· ISO 3664+ tools: evaluate the viewing conditions for Prints, Transparencies, and Color monitors, as per ISO 3664. The measurements include: Color Rendering Index (CRI; CIE Publication 13); ambient illuminance (lux); monitor luminance (cd/m2); monitor and ambient color temperatures, chromaticity, and illumination uniformity; light-booth and daylight simulators evaluation (MI and Quality Grade based on CIE Standard 12, an updated version of CIE Publication 51).
· Export a spreadsheet savvy text report for the Density, MI, Graph, and ISO 3664+ tools.
· Export an image of the Graph spectrums.
