Software used with an X-Rite iO device to analyze color

[jbarrie]

Does anybody know of free software that works with an X-Rite iO device, which can analyze color from either a provided swatch (like cloth) or a printed sheet and will convert it's finding to either RGB or CMYK values?

Thanks,
Jeff

Esko's color engine will do this.

So where can I get my free copy of Color Engine? ;]

I find it also hard to believe that Esko would have something that is free

Anyway to my recollection Color Picker from Xrite will do this for single measurements against a provided CMYK profile. I haven't tested with CMYK, but I guess it works also. The problem is that Profilemaker (that includes Color Picker) does not work in the current version of OSX.
You must have also i1 if you have iO table so you can use that to measure single measurements.

John,
This was a great post! ColorPicker does indeed allow me to scan an object and give me LAB results (easy enough to convert to CMYK). Thanks for the suggestion.

Not sure if this would help you. Used this for many years and can highly recommend it.

Sorry... I missed the "free" part!! Indeed nothing from Esko will be free. I do think color port and i1Publish from xRite will do this and they both have a free mode. Cant say for sure, but may be worth checking them out.
