MART°N Coloristic seems to work fine and does what it says. It has some nice options to help you, getting the right colorvalues out of your image. I'm not sure, but I think, the Apple GUI guidlines won't suggest, to display values in the toolbar, so Coloristic seems not to be on one line with the Mac GUI. The Icon could benefit form more subtile colors (how about transparency or little color gradients) because icons with primary (and secondary) colors look very plump (as they did in windows 3.1). As there seems to be a Mac and PC version and because of the preferences dialouge and the toolbar thing, I conceive, that this is done with Metrowerks Codewarrior. As there is no future version of CW and the future Intel based Macs couldn't be supported with CW, I wonder if this tool has a future, if someone pays the 12 bucks today. The most thing, I wonder about is the 12 bucks itself. I'm always glad to pay for a tool that helps me in doing my work, but Mac OS X delivers the DigitalColor Meter (Applications>Utilities) since (at least) version 10.1 and it does nearly the same for free. So paying $12 to see CMYK values and to measure some horizontal and vertical pixels (not even the diagonal) is clearly too much. (Version 1.6) |
