The new
SpectraView Profiler software come out a few days ago.
This software
is based on the basICColor Display 5.0.1 software and comes with new
interesting features.
The
software has a new, very user-friendly interface with some standard presets
(honestly I never used them, but I think that they can come handy for some
users).
I am
testing the new software on different configurations. I am using a dual
SpectraView 301 configuration to make some tests at the moment.
My usual
workspace is a SpectraView 271 and a Cintiq 24HD (not shown).
As usual I
am working with the basICColor Discus.
The
validation from the SpectraView 301 is very good.Not
a surprise, I personally think that basICColor Display used in combination with
Discus colorimeter is the best solution for monitor calibration and profiling
nowadays.
More
importantly the monitors performed very well with some test images that I always
use to test new software and hardware for color management. Gradients are
uniform and difference between small luminance value are clearly noticeable. Good.
A feature
that I like of this new release is the Color space simulation.
If you own
the software and a monitor with hardware-calibration capable LUTs you can now use
them to emulate another device (printer or monitor). I am testing this feature
to emulate printer profiles and monitor profiler (sRGB for web output, for
example).
It seems to
work nicely, better than other soft-proof that I have tried in the past. For my
personal needs I always prefer to make an “hard-test” printing a small detail
of the final print if I need good color-accuracy, but I think that this
function can help.
