PatchTool is designed to:
- Visualize color lists as color patches (color spaces: xyY, XYZ, L*a*b*, L*C*h*, RGB, CMYK, spectral data)
- Import color lists saved in industry standard file formats (CGATS, CxF V-1 and V-2)
- Import user-defined lists created with spreadsheets or word processors
- Import/export spectral data with various scales (0-1 or 0%-100%) and ranges (380-730 nm or 400-700 nm)
- Import RGB data encoded in 8 bit, 15 bit, 16 bit, or scaled to 100%
- Import/export color lists in OSA UCS coordinates
- Switch between
What's New
Version 3.6.0.3.0: Now shows the correct Hardware and Driver versions for the Spyder2 and Spyder3 in the Display Check Info dialog.
New features:
- Added support for the X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter:
- This instrument is currently used in the Display Check tool.
- Supported models: i1Display Pro hardware sold by X-Rite (i.e. the retail version, part #EODIS3-XR). Generic models sold by other companies (third parties, or OEM, part #EODIS-OEM) should also be compatible. At this time we cannot say if we will support or not custom models sold by other companies since separate agreements with these parties may be required. More specific info will be provided as new models are released.
- PatchTool can load and assign calibration matrices (contained in X-Rite Emissive Display Reference (EDR) files) specifically designed for various display technologies, and which provide improved measurement accuracy. Five EDR files are supplied; additional files could be added in the future without a need to reinstall PatchTool.
- Select between two measurement speeds.
- Display Check Instrument Info dialog:
- Revised interface: You can now assign the instrument preferences without going back to the program Preferences’ dialog.
- More robust code to improve the connection to an instrument if this instrument is not connected when the Display
- Check window is opened.
- (Mac) Replaced PICT by PNG as an image export format.
- Exporting images: Fixed a bug where a reddish, yellowish, or orangish tint could be seen in 16 bit TIFF L*a*b* patches when a* and/or b* was negative with a value between zero and -0,001953.
- Display Check RAW file: Now shows correct L*a*b* D50 Source data. The problem was seen when the reference data was XYZ, L*a*b* or L*C*h* and the destination profile was an external ICC profile. The problem did not occur for RGB, CMYK, and spectral reference data, and when the destination was an internal PatchTool profile; as well, RAW measurements were never affected.
