Eizo Corp of Japan announced a new free software solution, “Quick Colour Match” which was developed with Adobe, Canon and Epson and is intended to simplify colour management systems for photography enthusiasts and professionals. The product is due to be shown at Photokina in Cologne.
Quick Color Match automatically adjusts a compatible ColorEdge monitor’s gain, brightness, gamma, and color space (Adobe RGB) and creates a profile for these settings that is optimized for the selected printer paper type. Dragging and dropping a photo into the Quick Color Match window automatically opens Adobe Photoshop and adjusts the software to Eizo’s recommended color settings based on the printer and paper being used.
With either Canon Print Studio Pro or Epson Print Layout print plugin installed, Quick Color Match will automatically select the print profile and color and soft proofing options recommended by Eizo. Users simply need to choose the paper size, type, and quality and they can quickly print photos without worrying about navigating through several windows of technical settings and options.
The software works on ‘most’ monitors in the Eizo ColorEdge line up. Details are in the table.
