Using Printfix spectro for measuring other things.

2007-02-26 by Randy Laskody

Hello, I do some background painting for my photo business and have
been using the spectro or maybe is it called a colorimeter, I dont
know, to measure paint swatches. But anyway I have to take the lab
values from the measure function in PFP and hand type them into the
photoshop colorpicker, make a swatch page, save it, then open it up in
a free munsell converter to measure the swatches to get the munsell
values. For those that dont know munsell is a color measurement system
based on the artists color wheel.

Anyway I was wondering, if there was a better way to get munsell from
the LAB numbers that PFP puts out.

Now Xrite makes a free program that lets you use there spectro for
doing spot color work called Ishare that allows the spectro to be used
for some basic spot color work. It would be nice if colorvision would
do something similar in an upgrade or something. 

Feel Free to Chime in here CD. :o)
