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: <http://www.colorwiki.com/wiki/ColorThink_Pro_-_Color_Worksheet_Part_1> regards, Steve
