Frank,

I seem to remember reading that BasiColor will allow you to do this; just 
checked and the manual says:-

"Clicking on the "Chromaticity Coordinates" radio

button activates the "Measure" button, which allows you to use the 
calibration sensor

connected to your computer to measure various sources of light. You can 
measure the

true color temperature of your light booth, for example, which often 
deviates from the

standard 5000 Kelvin,"

Does anyone know of software that will use an Eye-one display (the version 1
that was on sale recently) as a simple photometer? It seems like the only
way to use it is on a monitor running some dedicated software, Match or
maybe BabelColor, but there may be some other software out there that can
let the Eye-one hardware act as a simple color photometer, if the firmware
that senses a screen raster (?) can be bypassed.

Frank,

It works with the i1 spectro, not the i1 display colorimeters. BasiColor 
seems to get great reviews from the experts, and it has been able to 
calibrate and profile lcds to give perfectly neutral grayscales that other 
programs cannot. It has got rid of a color cast on my lcd that Colorvision 
and iMatch could not, and Bruce Fraser has reported that he found it did the 
same with his monitors.

Was that the "Eye-one display" (version 1) or ". . . display 2", as they
named them? Display 2 has that capacity with Match software, but the
original version has some inherent limitation that cripples it for
GretagMacbeth's Match software and, apparently, for BabelColor also.
