Here’s a tool I saw at the color management conference last week…..Tucanna Quality Control 2.1…only negative is that it’s currently Windows-only. Hopefully that will change in the future. 99 bucks and it has quite a few functions. Terry

Hey, Steve!
Thank you, sir. I like that, too. But, again, I'm worried about making these guys' heads explode. They are used to pressing a button, and getting devices values, instantly. The prospect of saving a measurement file, dropping it into ColorThink, configuring settings, exporting another file and opening it, prior to transcribing device values, would be a harsh. They might have to do this a couple dozen separate times, in a day.

Hi, Liane.
Thanks, very much. It's not as simple as we'd like. But, it's a clever, solid, and free option.
I'd consider simplifying the last few steps, and just use Photoshop's color picker (foreground/background color), alone, to do the profile interrogation. The device values (CMYK or RGB) are displayed instantly in the color picker, when the Lab values are entered.
I'm still hoping for a simpler, more direct solution. We do enough of this that the time to save measurement files, open them and type data into Photoshop will add up to many hours, and increase errors.
Hi Jeremy,
ColorThink doesn’t directly take measurements at this time but it certainly can be used to convert any Lab (or device values) through a profile using the rendering intent of your choice.
Just open a CGATS file in ColorThink and drop any profile you want onto the list. The rendering intent setting is available as a popup above the profile.
We’ll be adding direct measurement capabilities in the next version of ColorThink Pro to make things easier still.
There’s more information about using the worksheet in ColorThink Pro here:
