Title: replacement for ProfileMaker's Compare function
Post by: Stefan Ohlsson on July 21, 2014, 09:38:44 am

In ProfileMaker I used the compare function a lot. If I did a printer profile, I took 3 measurements and used compare to see if one of these were bad. I have a small test strip that I can print, measure and then do a comparison with my reference values. But now I can't use Measure Tool any longer, as Mac OSX 10.9 doesn't support that program. Any idea of a program that gives me the same functionality?

I feel your pain! That's why I did end up getting an old MacBook that can run that software and others and it cost a mere $160 on ebay. You could look into PatchTool which is kind of like MT on steroids and if it fills your needs, would only cost $125:

There's also ColorAnt from ColorLogic if you need super robust averaging and more.

What I was going to say.  PatchTool rocks, so does its author.

I'm already using Babelcolor CT&A, so I know that Danny Pascale's products are great. I've downloaded a try-out version and it did what I wanted and more, so it will be my new tool.
