The RGB vs RGB tool is a bidirectional color-space
Translator and comparator tool, essentially the "T" of CT&A. You can
use the RGB vs RGB tool to compare two colors which are within a predefined or
custom RGB space, or which are part of color chips catalogues, herein called
Color Decks. You can convert a color from a Color Deck to an RGB space or
find the closest color from an RGB space in a Color Deck. Of course, RGB space
to RGB space and Color Deck to Color Deck conversions are also possible. Inputs
can be converted to many other color spaces, such as "xyY", "XYZ", Munsell HVC",
and others. The RGB vs RGB tool does not require a color measurement instrument
although data can be inputted using such an instrument, which has to be
purchased separately (a list of supported instruments is available
here).

The Density tools offer all the measurement types found
in full-featured densitomers: Reflection density, Dot Area (shown
here), Apparent Trap, Print Contrast, and Hue error - Grayness
- Saturation.

The FluoCheck tools are made possible by the capabilities
of X-Rite's i1Pro 2 spectrophotometer which supports the M0, M1, and M2
Measurement Conditions as defined in
ISO
13655-2009. The FluoCheck tools were devised by BabelColor to
rapidly evaluate if a color sample is susceptible to fluorescence and if two
samples that match without fluorescence still match when fluorescence is taken
under consideration.

Graph tools Graph tools (saved image)
Use the Graph tools to measure the spectrums of color
patches (Reflectance mode), displays (Emission mode), and light sources (Ambient
and Flash modes). Depending on the samples measurement mode, various operations
can be performed, either on a single measurement or by combining two
measurements.

The Metamerism Index tools enable you to: characterize the
color stability of a single color patch when changing the illuminant using a
Color Inconstancy Index (CII); evaluate how two colors which are the same under
one illuminant will match under another illuminant using the Special Metamerism
Index (SMI); evaluate if the relationship of two color patches under one
illuminant is maintained under another illuminant using a Metamerism Index (MI);
and judge how samples look under various illuminants (virtual light box),
including two measured, or loaded from file, ambient lights.

This is a tool to obtain color coordinates of reflective samples
(paints, inks, etc.) in RAL DESIGN notation, which is a simple re-order of L*C*h* data
taken with Illuminant D65 and the 10 degree Standard Observer.

Whiteness tools

This tool set is designed to rapidly measure white paper
characteristics: Whiteness, Tint, Brightness,
Fluorescence, and Opacity.

PDF (shown on Mac OS X)
A complete help manual is provided. It contains a detailed description of the
features and the interface, a thorough theoretical presentation, with equations,
of the various conversion processes within BabelColor CT&A, and tutorials with
an emphasis on practical uses. The thumbnail on the left shows the manual in the
HTML Help help application format found in Windows; it is fully indexed and
searchable. The PDF manual, shown on the right on a Mac, is fully hyper-linked; the file has an index, and is searchable. Both manuals can be
printed. top |
