Chromix ColorThink v2.x

Chromix ColorThink 2.3

Features - Overview

Profile Manager

Organize your profiles by turning them on and off individually or in sets

Profile Inspector

Open all types of ICC Profiles and inspect their color data, header, tag table and other details. Change default settings to fit your workflow. Also, display neutral rendering curves (v2.1 and higher only)

2D Graphing

Nothing gets the idea across faster than the graph of a printer gamut. 2D graphing allows the overlay of multiple profiles and data sets

3D Graphing

Move up to 3D graphing when you are ready to analyze your devices and workflow. See the cause of proofing and printing problems. Graph measurement files and image colors to compare with device gamuts.

Image Inspector

Open images and see the embedded profile. Export, change(mac only) or delete(mac only) it at will. Learn to handle the files your customers are sending.

Profile Renamer

Profiles have two names; internal and external. Confused by what appears in menus? Change the internal and external names with this tool.

Profile Linker

Some RIPs allow linked profiles to be loaded for proofing purposes. Profile Linker will built those profiles for you, quickly and easily.

Profile Medic

Multi-point integrity checks can be performed on one or all the profiles in your system. If Profile Medic finds fixable problems a quick click and you are back to work.

Color Lists

Open measurement files from most profiling applications. View them in list form with rendered colors. Apply profiles to the lists for testing and graphing.

Speed up your workflow by organizing your files and reducing confusion. The Profile Manager's filters allow you to see only the profiles you need.

Features

Features

• Open and display all ICC profile types including device, color space, and named color profile
• Display profile using a unique patent-pending graphical overview showing:
  • primary colors
  • media white and maximum black
  • table sizes and precision
• Browse a profile's header & extended tags
• Summarize tag types and view tag information
• (NEW) view neutral rendering curves for each rendering intent - see how your grays are built
• Perform a comprehensive 12-point integrity check
• Summarize profile errors or warnings and link to the Profile Medic
• Modify profile settings such as preferred CMM and default rendering intent

Features

• graph profiles, colors, color lists, and images in 2D Lab, Luv, or Yxy coordinates
• add multiple profiles or lists on one graph by drag-and-drop
• graphically display gamut differences and potential problem colors using overlay feature
• quickly save graphs to the desktop for use in other applications

Features

• graph profiles, colors, color lists, and images in 3D Lab, Luv, or Yxy coordinates
• (2) uses OpenGL directly, for highest quality and performance
• display or hide graph axes and gamut projection
• graph profile gamuts using accurate wire-frame models or (2) shaded volumes
• display objects in single colors or multiple colors for comparison
• view color differences as 3D vectors using unique vector-compare feature, (2) colorize the vectors using delta-E errors to clearly see where errors are significant
• overlay multiple profiles for accurate gamut comparison and to judge suitability of a device for reproduction or proofing, (2) vary their opacity to see profile boundaries and profiles or data inside
• (2) display profile effects on images and color lists with vectors. Clearly compare rendering intent differences
• manipulate gamut volumes directly by grabbing and rotating with the mouse

Features

• open and display image formats including GIF (Mac only), JPEG, and TIFF
• display image's embedded profile
  • export the profile and copy out the the Finder/Windows Explorer, open with Profile Inspector, or install in System
  • remove profile (Mac only)
  • embed a different profile (Mac only)
• summarize image's color contents into a Color List for display or graph in 2D and 3D
• display or hide graph axes and gamut projection
• graph profile gamuts using accurate wire-frame models or (2) shaded volumes
• display objects in single colors or multiple colors for comparison
• view color differences as 3D vectors using unique vector-compare feature, (2) colorize the vectors using delta-E errors to clearly see where errors are significant
• overlay multiple profiles for accurate gamut comparison and to judge suitability of a device for reproduction or proofing, (2) vary their opacity to see profile boundaries and profiles or data inside
• (2) display profile effects on images and color lists with vectors. Clearly compare rendering intent differences

Features

• edit profiles' internal and external names
• quickly edit both names when lock feature is enabled
• automatically add or strip file extensions such as .icc

Features

• create ICC compatible device-link profiles for use in RIPs and color servers
• drag-and-drop profiles into Linker for quick selection
• specify rendering intent for greater accuracy

Features

• inspect all enabled and disabled profiles installed on the system
• perform comprehensive 16-point checks on profile contents and system setup
• summarize all warnings and errors and perform repairs
• solve many profile problems including:
  • profiles which are invisible to ColorSync - often occurs when moving profiles cross-platform (Mac version)
  • profiles with internal structural problems
  • name-confusion issues caused by different internal vs external names
  • application crashing and color problems due to corrupted profiles

Features

• read and display device (RGB, CMYK, etc.) or colorimetric (Lab, XYZ, etc.) values as lists
• summarize image colors in list form
• display named color profile (NCP) colors
• graph color lists in 2D or 3D
• apply profiles to lists to produce colorimetric data from device data and vice versa; changing rendering intent settings is supported
• drag colors into lists from profiles or other lists
• open measurement data files from many different profiling applications and tools including:
  • Color Savvy
  • Kodak
  • ColorBlind
  • Monaco
  • GretagMacbeth
  • Praxisoft
  • Heidelberg/Linocolor
  • SpectroCam
