My wish list:
One product with the best features of PM and MP. For instance in output
profiles:
- Custom testcharts with custom separations in CMYK
- "Before" Linearization (not linearization while editing a profile
after the profile is built)
- Custom viewing light source
- Custom gamut compression
- Custom neutral axis
New features (Just look at what Argyll CMS is doing for years!!!):
- Native support for Mac/Intel
- Source gamut reference for precise gamut compression
- CIECAM02 viewing condition compensation
- Data smoothing control
I'm afraid the best features from MP will be killed like DTP22, DTP70
and DTP94 were...
Best regards,
Lorenzo

I am probably not alone in wondering what the meaning is of the prolonged silence from X-Rite regarding the future of ProfileMaker/Monaco Profiler.
It's been a long time since GretagMacbeth and X-Rite merged, and, while we have seen products slashed and discontinued, we still have to see a *professional* level application generated by the new company that is at the proficiency level of those two, or hopefully even higher (which usually is the point of technological progress).
How much longer do we wait? Or -- now that the field is more or less clear of competitors and we are more or less stuck with what we already got, and at a point in which X-Rite is saddled and financially overextended with the results of their merging with Pantone -- are we seen as a captive audience and no one cares much to keep us posted?
I'm not asking for any insider's knowledge. If you cannot talk, just bat your eyelashes once if a new professional-level profiling application is in the works, and bat them twice is if it's planned to be coming out in less than a year.
I would consider such an acknowledgment to be at the very least polite, and respectful of the customer base that, like myself, invested in GretagMacbeth/X-Rite's products in the past.
