PatchTool

PatchTool is designed to:

• Visualize color lists (xyY, XYZ, L*a*b*, L*C*h*, RGB, CMYK, spectral data) as color patches
• Import lists saved in standard file formats (CGATS, CxF V-1, V-2 and V-3)
• Import lists created with spreadsheets or word processors
• Import/export spectral data with various scales and ranges
• Import RGB data encoded in 8 bit, 15 bit, 16 bit, or scaled to 100%
• Import/export color lists in OSA UCS coordinates
• Import small TIFF images as color lists
Import/export Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE) files Switch between the Measured, Random, or Visual layouts of ECI2002 and IT8.7/4 targets
• Perform printer and monitor certification as defined by IDEAlliance
• Derive Color Correction matrices as per ASTM E1455
Check your display calibration with a DTP94, i1Pro, i1Pro 2, i1 Display, i1Display Pro, Spyder2, Spyder3 or Spyder4
• Measure colors in reflectance with an i1 Pro or i1Pro 2
• Compare patches from separate files
• Compare two files with detailed statistics
• Average files using weighted or un-weighted methods
• Re-order, rename and renumber lists; turn and mirror patch layouts; flip rows and columns
• Convert color lists to standard color spaces (xyY, XYZ, L*a*b*, L*C*h*, RGB, CMYK)
• Convert lists using RGB or CMYK ICC profiles
• Generate device dependent (RGB, CMYK), device independent (L*a*b*, L*C*h*, XYZ), and OSA UCS color lists
• Check if a color list is clipped by a destination profile
• Determine profile gamut volume
Extract data from photos of targets Tweak color lists for improved printed accuracy
• Export color lists in CGATS or text files
• Export RGB in 8 bit, 15 bit+ (Photoshop 16 bit), true 16 bit, or scaled to 100%
• Export to Munsell HVC
• Export to images
• Export to BabelColor CT&A (sold separately)
