Robin Myers Imaging: SpectraShop™ 3

SpectraShop is a program for measuring, analyzing and storing visible light spectra. It can measure spectra directly with various instruments, or import data from other programs. Spectral data can also be exported in several formats. In addition to individual specimens, SpectraShop has a very flexible chart definition and measurement feature. An impressive array of colorimetric values are displayed for each spectrum. Easy to use tools are provided for analyzing and visualizing spectral and colorimetric data.

To all of you awaiting the release of SpectraShop 3 Pro, there is bad news. It will not be coming.

The good news is that SpectraShop 4 is taking its place!

This is a fantastic version with lots of great new tools, along with enhancements to your existing ones. All the tools are designed to have great power yet present an easy to use interface.

Here is partial list of the tools in SpectraShop 4:

Measure Specimens Tool

Emissive light, emissive monitor, reflective, transmissive
Emissive flash with i1 Pro
Flexible autonaming feature

Measure Graph Tool

Emissive light, emissive monitor, reflective, transmissive graphs
Rectangular graphs
Arbitrary graphs (e.g. OECF)

Define Graph Tool

Create emissive monitor, reflective or transmissive graphs definitions
Rectangular graphs
Arbitrary graphs
Graphs saved as editable text files

Graph 2D Tool

Graphs of any colorimetric value against any other
Gamut graphs
Paired graphs of color changes, with or without direction arrows
TRC curve graphs
Graphs are of publication quality
Graphs can be exported to a file or printed
Examples

Lighting Tool

CRI General Color Rendering Index
CRI Special Rendering Index
CQS (Color Quality Scale) New color index from NIST
CQS Gamut Area Index
Simulated sample patches for CRI and CQS
∆Eab values for all patches
Export CRI and CQS values to a text file

Calculate Tool

Add, subtract, multiply and divide up to 4 lists of specimens
Normalize and scale specimens
Useful for creating various spectral interractions

Difference Tool

Calculate differences from a single reference (good for QA/QC work)
Compute differences between two paired lists (great for comparing two charts)
∆Eab, ∆E94, ∆ECMC, ∆E2000
Pass/Fail indicators
Difference spectral graph
Differences of more than 20 colorimetric values
Difference graph can be exported to a file or printed

Special Features of SpectraShop 4:

i1 Pro and Spectrolino can measure transmissive objects such as transparency charts.
ColorEye XTH measurements with the Specular Component Included and Excluded simultaneously.
PR-655/670, all SD card stored measurements may be transferred with a single command.
Data from instruments with different sampling intervals can be simultaneously examined.
Most comprehensive text import/export format available. All metadata and all of the 40+ colorimetric values can be exported for use in other programs.
Charts with either rectangular or arbitrary patch layouts may be defined and measured.
Supports 1, 2, 4, 5 and 10 nm sampled spectra from 380 to 780 nm, inclusive.

SpectraShop will operate in a demo mode until it is registered. In demo mode the program will open and import spectral files but it will not measure, save or export data. The demo mode allows the program to be used as a viewer for files shared with others.

Upon receiving your order we will send you the unlock code by email. Orders are processed Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM PST. Orders received after hours, on weekends or holidays will be processed the next business day.
