You CAN trust your colour

Designed specifically for wedding, portrait and event photographers—or any passionate advocate – ColorMunki Photo is a completely integrated color control solution to calibrate your displays, projectors and printers; so you get accurate screen to print color matching, every time. Combined with ColorMunki’s included creation and communication tools you’ll have unparalleled control, so you can bring your vision to life… and share it with the world!

Take your vision to colour perfection

As a photographer you know perfect color is essential.  But with today’s complex digital imaging workflows, getting colors to match between devices can appear to be a challenge.  Stop wasting ink, paper, and valuable time with trial and error color correction, and enjoy the benefits of precise color from the beginning.

ColorMunki Photo is an integrated color control solution that provides complete control over calibrating your monitors, projectors and printers, so the colour you see on screen is the colour you get in print. The powerful, self-guided software offers two modes: easy and advanced. Select “match my printer to my display” and you’ll be completely guided through the profiling process for both your display and your printer. Or you can easily jump right to display, projector or printer profiling. The all-in-one spectrophotometer is the only device you need.

Intuitive RGB and CMYK printer profiling technology delivers a high quality profile in a fraction of the time. Simply scan one 50-patch test chart, and ColorMunki will learn how your printer behaves with these colours and dynamically generate a second chart of 50 patches.  Then print and scan this second chart of 50 patches and your profile is perfected!  ColorMunki is so smart it even has the ability to optimize your profile based on images for specific colours, black & white, flesh tones, etc.

Not sure what to do with your profile after you create it? No worries. With AppSet™, ColorMunki talks with your photo and design applications – including Adobe® Photoshop® CS3, Adobe® InDesign® CS3/4, QuarkXPress® 8, CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X4, and Corel® Painter™X – and integrates them automatically.

Let your artistic side go wild!

Put control of your image library at your fingertips and automatically extract colours from any image. Or go directly into an image and drag any colour you can see to create a custom colour palette. ColorMunki Photo also lets you grab colour from virtually any substrate with the easy spot colour measurement function. Then, when you’re ready to use your custom palette, automatically synchronize it with CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X4, Corel® Painter™X, or any of your Creative Suite applications, including InDesign®, Illustrator® and QuarkXpress® 8. Custom palettes can also be imported into any of your other favorite photo and design applications.

With ColorMunki's PrintSafe™, you can preview your colour palettes under different lighting sources and evaluate your printing process. Think of the money you’ll save by catching out-of-gamut colours BEFORE you go to production!

Share it with the world

When you’re ready, confidently share your images with ColorMunki’s DigitalPouch. Simply drag and drop them into the pouch, “zip” it up, and send. The recipient doesn’t need any special software installed; they’ll be able to view the images with your embedded profiles in a self contained image viewing window.   Plus the DigitalPouch will automatically check the recipients monitor for a current profile and provide a warning if they aren’t profiled, so you can be assured you and your client are each viewing on a profiled monitor.

Whether you work on a Mac or PC, ColorMunki Photo will help take your photos from screen to print accurately, simply and affordably. The possibilities are virtually limitless! No matter how you show your work, the world will see it exactly the way you intended.
