I'm amazed that it got out the door like that.
If you saw the first few pre-release versions, you'd fall off your chair. It was far, far worse!
I wonder what usability and beta testing was done.
I've done beta for a lot of big and small companies over the years, X-rite's process is tops for the worst. During beta all they want from the tiny group they initially assembled was to report bugs to squash (if they can, often they can't or don't). Their XRD protocol has to be the biggest waste of engineering time and money in color management history. It does absolutely nothing useful for end users and worse, keeps breaking and continuing to waste system resources. I suspect X-rite spent half their engineering time on XRD for no apparent reason, while the main application is a mess as a result.
Forget about a manual, I don't know if any single person at the company that fully understands what the product is supposed to do. It's a bloody mess. IF the color engine wasn't superior to the previous products (MonacoPROFILER and ProfileMaker Pro), and have some useful new features like the M series support, post optimization, better target generation, I'd trash this piece of crap in a split second. So it's a love-hate-hate relationship. The people at X-rite that know color science and hardware are tops. The people at X-rite that create software should be fired.
