3.9 Optional software module "PhotoLab"

TECHKON PhotoLab is an optionally available program module for evaluating and
displaying L*a*b* color data graphically. Color differences between sample and refer-
ence colors can be analyzed.
It works with a hardware protection key (dongle), which has to be plugged into an
USB-port before launching SpectroDens Connect.

dow, the color differences between sample
and reference are shown numerically.
2. Reference: viewfinder with tolerance circle
Sample: bold point

be moved by drag-and-drop with the mouse
pointer directly to the center of the display
where the L*a*b*-color circle is.
A pop-up window will ask, if the values
should be used as sample or as reference
values.
4. A mouse click on the program symbol
will start the plug-in PhotoLab within the
SpectroDens Connect environment.
Without the use of the USB-hardware
protection key (dongle), a demo version of
PhotoLab with limited functionality will run.
PhotoLab requires SpectroDens Connect
version 2.1 or higher.
