There are many photo retouching programs and plug-ins which are missing a numerical color information display. This application displays color values in one of 4 color models CMY, HSB, RGB and internet, while most of the other applications only display RGB and Internet color values.

There is a great range of useful options in how this information is displayed and the option to display the info in a window which floats above all application windows.

Human perception of color is inconsistent and varies greatly depending on many factors, making the information this application essential for efficient workflow.

Coloristic's value comes from the time it saves in creating informed decisions, and accurate color corrections.

I spent a lot of time looking at more than 20 other color utilities before I came upon this, hope this review saves you some time.

I am running this on a Mac using the latest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.2, loads easy functions as advertised.

As a professional photographer I appreciate all the effort put into developing this application. Please support those provide software you find useful.
