I'm on OSX 10.8 (Mtn Lion) and have the latest versions of both i1Profiler and ColorPort software. In the past, I used to be able to take light measurements and get lots of useful data using i1Share and other software, but they don't work on 10.8. I'm trying to measure my lights in my office (color temp and CRI). With i1Profiler, I know I can grab spectral data of light when building printer profiles, but it provides only a graph without numbers, and stores the data inside the i1Profiler software somewhere. Is there any way to export this information, so I can see the numbers? I want not only the spectral data, but the average correlated color temp and CRI. If this software won't do it, is there any inexpensive or freebie software for the Mac that will do some of the things I used to be able to do with ProfileMaker, MeasureTool, i1Share, etc? Thanks, Lou Dina
SpectraShop will do all you want, and more. In addition to CCT and CQS, it will gives details of which patches are the best and worst reproduced. The results can be exported as a text file. You can get more information at www.rmimaging.com/spectrashop.html. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 925-519-4122 or email me at robin@rmimaging.com .

Hello Lou, Please have a look at BabelColor CT&A, which provides tha data you are looking for. You can send me emails through ColorSync or directly if you prefer.

Use Argyllcms. Spotread in version 1.4.0 will make readings with 10.8.2 and the i1 Pro. The only annoying thing with Mountain Lion is that there seems to be a Terminal bug which stops you closing the PlotWin window :( Which means that you have to kill the current Terminal session with the instrument every time you make a new reading. A right PITA if you need to take multiple readings… But it does work, comes with plenty of documentation and a useful forum for users… unlike i1 Profiler :) -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd
