ColorThink Pro
Grapher
2D graphing is great for learning and explaining the concept of color gamut. But in order to truly understand what's going on and to analyze colors and device behavior, 3D graphs are essential. ColorThink quickly and seamlessly moves between 2D and 3D modes.
2D Graphing
- Illustrate color gamuts and reproduction issues
- evaluate profile and device capabilities and suitability
- show clients and coworkers gamut differences and printing issues
Features
- graph profiles, colors, color lists, and images in 2D Lab, Luv, or Yxy coordinates
- add multiple profiles or lists on one graph by drag-and-drop
- graphically display gamut differences and potential problem colors using overlay feature
- quickly save graphs to the desktop for use in other applications

3D Graphing
- Illustrate color gamuts and reproduction issues with the greatest accuracy by seeing the whole gamut from ink black to paper white, not just the edges
- evaluate profile and device capabilities and suitability for proofing
- visualize color differences due to media changes, dry-down shifts, or measurement issues
- plot image colors as a cloud of pixels and overlay a printer gamut for comparison
- display Lab-region gridlines for gamut size perspective (new with Pro)
- constrain profile gamut's color channels to determine optimal ink limiting levels (new with Pro)
- slice profile gamuts to compare gamut sizes at any Lightness level (new with Pro)
- plot profiles as points for quick hex-plot style graphs (new with Pro)
- graph RGB, CMYK and Lab images (Lab and full-accuracy CMYK new with Pro)
- graph profiles with up to 10 channels! (new with Pro)
Features
- graph profiles, colors, color lists, and images in 3D Lab, Luv, or Yxy coordinates
- uses OpenGL directly, for highest quality and performance.
- display or hide graph axes and gamut projection
- graph profile gamuts using accurate wire-frame models or shaded volumes
- display objects in single colors or multiple colors for comparison
- view color differences as 3D vectors using unique vector-compare feature, colorize the vectors using delta-E errors to clearly see where errors are significant
- overlay multiple profiles for accurate gamut comparison and to judge suitability of a device for reproduction or proofing, vary their opacity to see profile boundaries and profiles or data inside.
- display profile effects on images and color lists with vectors. Clearly compare rendering intent differences
- manipulate gamut volumes directly by grabbing and rotating with the mouse
