Hello Bruce, For your specific requirements, you may want to have a look at PatchTool, in particular look for its Patch-Reader tool which can measure with or without a reference list, by defining a chart size, or in unconstrained mode, and which supports the i1Pro 2 M0, M1, and M2 modes. You can export in many data formats, including Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ase) format for use in Photoshop. You can contact me off-list for specific questions.

Hey, everyone!
I just bought an i1pro2, replacing our old SpectroScan and ProfileMaker Pro. I was used to being able to take readings of all sorts of objects (not just charts) with the ColorPicker module and exporting spectral data, Lab colors, Photoshop palettes or a number of other formats with ColorPicker, a module in ProfileMaker Pro, with which I would imagine many of you would be fairly well acquainted.
I'm looking for something that updates/replaces ColorPicker, and I've been a little let down with what comes with the i1pro2. I see that I can do something kinda like it by telling it to measure a chart, but I have to pre-define how many colors I'd like to measure and I have only one very basic export option for a text document of Lab colors. Not very wieldy.
There is also Pantone's Color Manager which doesn't give Lab data at all. Pretty, but not what I'm looking for.
There is also the option of running my new i1pro2 with ColorPicker itself, but I'm running out of computers running Mac OS 10.6 or earlier! Also, ColorPicker doesn't take advantage of the M0, M1 and M2 measurement modes and requires a dongle for saving.
Is there a tool that does the exact same thing as ColorPicker but something I can run on Mac OS 10.7 or 10.8?
Thanks, Bruce Jamieson _______________________________________________
