Advice Needed: Upgrade of Eye-One Photo
Hello, Quite some time ago I purchased a product bundle: the Eye-One Photo kit, with Eye-One Pro (REV B), the Eye-One Beamer, and various accessories. It also came with the Eye-One Display 2. The following options were enabled: 1. Monitor Profiling 2. RGB Output Profiling 3. CMYK Easy Output Profiling 4. Scanner Profiling 5. Projector Profiling 6. Digicam Profiling 7. Editor I never used all its features, so it was overkill for me. I primarily use it to profile displays and did a bit of Epson printer profiling. I might have use for the Beamer to profile a digital projector, but thus far I have not. I have no use for the scanner, CMYK, or camera profiling options. In any case, I'm now preparing to migrate to Lion, and I understand that none of the software in this package will run under Lion. X-Rite offers an upgrade option for $500: If you originally purchased i1Photo, i1Photo SG, i1Proof, i1XT, or i1XTreme – buy i1PublishUpgrade A to get full i1Publish Pro functionality. (Use your existing i1Pro, still keep your license flags for i1Match software, and get all the new software, features and components). I'd really rather not spend the $500 right now, and am interested in recommendations from this group. What do you think about i1Publish Pro, and how does it compare with other options? Thanks, Jim
Jim, My situation was the same as yours- purchased the same bundle 5 or 6 years ago. After purchasing Upgrade A, my experience with iPublishPro's monitor, RGB Output, CMYK Output, and scanner profiling have been very satisfactory. There are numerous options available that we're not a part of the previous EyeOne Photo bundle- and the options I have used have produced better profiles.

Craig, I'm interested to read that you find the scanner profiles to be better after the i1 Upgrade A. I was under the impression that the new software, i1Publish, didn't include a scanner profiling module, and that X-Rite left your previous software--either MonacoProfiler of ProfileMakerPro--active for input profiles. I have read of some people bringing the scanner data in by some circuitous route and then using the Prism engine in i1Publish to build the profile. Is this what you're referring to? Or has X-Rite added an input profiling capability while I wasn't looking? Thanks, Paul Stubblebine San Francisco On Dec 18, 2011, at 12:59 PM, Craig D. Sutherland wrote:

In my case, I am upgrading from Eye-One Match, which will not run on Lion. Eye-One Match has a scanner profiling component, and I would hope to retain that feature (although it's not my main use for the software). Thanks, Jim
