ColorThink 4 – the Best is now Better. Version 4 adds tons of features and thoroughly modernizes the industry’s best color graphing and analytics tool while retaining its familiar interface.

Measuring
Probably the biggest addition and longest-awaited feature is direct instrument measuring within ColorThink 4. Compatible with most current mainstream measuring instruments, ColorThink 4 automatically senses a connected instrument and adds it to the icon bar. If you start measuring directly from the icon bar, the results are dropped into a new worksheet. If you start measuring in the Grapher, the results are automatically added to the graph.

Gamut Comparison
Also highly anticipated is the ability to analyze and compare two gamuts. ColorThink 4 uses gamut subtraction and/or addition to create an entirely new kind of graph. For example, When sRGB and a press profile are compared, ColorThink 4 subtracts the portion of the press profile that is left outside of sRGB. This is a very clear illustration of the colors on press that are unavailable if sRGB is your working space. The compare function can reverse the subtraction, so the press profile is subtracted from the sRGB gamut. You can also select the shared gamut to be shown in addition to the fully combined gamut. The Plot Item inspector shows the full gamut volumes of the two original gamuts, as well as the comparison volume. The gamut comparison index (GCI) is also easy to relate to and is calculated in accordance with the ISO standard.

Image Animation
ColorThink 4 introduces an exciting new way to display images in the grapher. Images load in their normal form and smoothly animate between the normal display form and the Lab values of the image colors in the grapher. The embedded profile is easily selected to show in wireframe form, illustrating how the image colors all fit within the gamut of its embedded profile. This feature alone will wow your audience and help get their head into color faster than any previous visualization!
