The Eye-One Photo package is a combo of the Eye-One Pro spectro and the
Eye-One Match software for doing display calibration and RGB printer
calibration. This is simple no-knobs software that doesn't let you do any
profile editing at all. In that regard, the ProfilerPro/DoctorPro combo from
Colorvision is better software, but the Eye-One Pro spectro is a
spectacularly good piece of hardware, very easy to use.

The ProfileMaker package is their high-end software, including profile
editing, but it's _just_ the software, so it won't help you unless you
already have the Eye-One Pro, or some other supported spectro like a DTP-41.
I don't see the ColorMouse in the list, by the way. Also, the Eye-One
Display won't work because it's only for displays. If you do have a good
spectro, however, it's a good deal.
