I’m loving Lightroom's ability to display Lab values with a decimal point. For
colorimetric Art Repro workflows being able to dial in end points with this
precision is fantastic.
I’m conversely frustrated with Photoshop's inability to do the same. Rounding
values to the nearest integer is unacceptable especially when dealing with
delicate paper white differences. I like using Photoshop’s Color Picker as a
color calculator to figure out values between different color spaces (measured
real world values and the printer color space) but being limited to integers is
feeling pretty 90s. The Info Palette now allows 32 bit values and Lab values
with several decimal points. That’s helpful but one can’t enter those values
into the Color Picker nor create patches with such precision. Any thoughts on
this?
Any easy to use color calculators like Photoshop’s Color Picker that support
custom printer profile and list values (including Lab) to at least one decimal?
I know can do this in Colorthink but it’s cumbersome. I thinking a quick,
simple and easy color calculator could be an excellent feature for the next
version…
