Designed to visualize, manipulate, re-order, average, compare (with statistics), convert, and expor
You can export a list as an image, in plain text format, or in a CGATS compatible file format; you can also export lists as color catalogues to be used within the BabelColor CT&A program.
With its Gamut Tools you can convert colors using one or two ICC profiles, check if a color list will be clipped by a profile conversion, determine the gamut volume of a profile, and generate fixed pitch color lists.
Its Display Check tool enables you to measure your display characteristics using a built-in set of patches, or the patches from any opened color list. Supports the Datacolor Spyder2TM and Spyder3TM, the MonacoOPTIXTM (X-Rite) DTP94, and the GretagMacbeth (X-Rite) Eye-OneTM Pro and Eye-One Display.

Import...
*
Files saved in industry standard CGATS and CxF (Version-1 and Version-2) color lists formats
*
From user-defined lists (plain text format) from spreadsheets or word processors
*
RGB data encoded in 8 bit, 15 bit, 16 bit, or scaled to 100%
*
Spectral data with various scales (0-1 or 0%-100%) and ranges (380-730 nm or 400-700 nm)
*
Color data saved using the Optical Society of America’s Uniform Color Scales (OSA UCS) notation
View and manipulate color lists
*
Assign IDs and switch between the Measured, Random, and Visual layouts of ECI2002 and IT8.7/4 charts
*
Average color lists using either a weighted or un-weighted method (mix lists with or without spectral data)
*
Compare a patch in a file to a patch in any other file, and get the color difference value
*
Compare two files (with the same number of patches) in the same window
*
Obtain statistical data on the differences between two files
*
Re-order color lists according to any user-selected color space coordinate (or spectral value when available)
*
Turn and mirror patch layouts, flip rows and columns, or rename and renumber color lists
*
Set the display color profile
Gamut Tools
*
Convert RGB or CMYK data assigned to a Source profile to a Destination profile
*
Convert RGB or CMYK data assigned to a profile to the Profile Connection Space (i.e. L*a*b*/XYZ)
*
Convert L*a*b* or XYZ file data to RGB or CMYK through a profile
*
Check if RGB or CMYK data assigned to a Source profile is clipped by a Destination profile
*
Check if L*a*b* or XYZ file data is clipped by a Destination profile
*
Generate device dependent RGB or CMYK color lists
*
Generate device independent color lists (L*a*b*/L*C*h*/XYZ) with a gamut limited by a profile
*
Determine the gamut volume of a profile
Export...
*
To many standard color spaces (xyY, XYZ, L*a*b*, L*C*h*, RGB, CMYK)
*
To Munsell HVC notation using many conversion options, and select amongst various output formats
*
To OSA UCS Ljg notation and generate color lists for any of the nine standard UCS data planes

Check a display profile against itself
*
Measure your own color list
