Title: xrite i1 pro color temp
Post by: simplify on May 28, 2015, 06:15:31 pm

I am curios is there is a way to measure the Color temperature of lighting in our space using the i1pro, I know you can measure ambient light amounts, but I can figure out how to measure the temperature of lights.  Is there a way to do this.

Thanks,

JP Jespersen

You need software to do so, the instrument is capable of producing the data. In the old days, you could do this with the bundled X-rite software they no longer provide. BableColor can do this:

And of course, ColorMeter (http://www.argyllpro.com.au/) is good for that too :-)
