A software update is now available for ColorChecker Passport. Version 1.0.2 includes a bug fix for using Passport software with Lightroom 3 when using “Export with Preset” allowing the dialogue box to appear for naming the profile being created. The update also provides improved colour extraction for better profile accuracy and improved patch detection, which eliminates errors in cases where the luminance of light-coloured patches meets or exceeds the luminance of the white patch. The update is free for all ColorChecker Passport users- all you need to do is launch the ColorChecker Passport software on a computer with an active Internet connection, and a dialogue box will appear asking you to authorise the download (see picture above).

(In the event you don’t get this automatic prompt for whatever reason simply choose “Help” and “Check for Updates…” from the top menu choices).

Download, install and relaunch either ColorChecker Passport software or Lightroom®. So if you haven’t tried Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 3 download your free 30 day trial today after you open ColorChecker Passport software and get the brand new v 1.0.2 update.  Get the benefit of improved color extraction and patch detection immediately!
