Differences Between ColorMunki Design and ColorMunki Photo
The differences between ColorMunki Design and ColorMunki Photo are primarily in the design of the software interface. ColorMunki Design opens with a palette display, inviting designers to scroll through and pick and choose colors to assemble color palettes. Intuitively, this is how designers work, and the interface is set up in this way.
The ColorMunki Photo interface is somewhat more 'utilitarian' in nature. The user is prompted with links for workflow, i.e., 'calibrate my monitor', 'profile my printer', 'match my screen to my printer', etc. Clicking on any of these links will immediately launch this feature. Professional photographers typically want to 'get down to business' right away, and the interface reflects this.
Functionally, the products are very similar. ColorMunki Design allows a users to synchronize color palettes to a printer profile, whereas ColorMunki Photo allows you to synchronize images to the printer profile. When profiling a printer, ColorMunki Design allows users to extract a color palette from an image, and fine-tune the printer profile for this palette, whereas ColorMunki Photo allows you to optimize a printer profile to an image by selecting the primary colors within that image. For example, if the photographer is using mainly portraits, they select an image that contains mainly flesh tones and the optimize profile will select mainly these flesh-tones and neutral colors in the optimized profile to bring the gamut closer. The Digital Pouch feature is unique to ColorMunki Photo, allowing a user to send an image file digitally, together with the appropriate profiles to allow users on the 'other end' to view and output the image optimally as the photographer saw it.

Display Calibration:
With both easy and advanced modes for LCD and Laptop displays, you'll master the color jungle in a snap. Easy mode has predetermined selections, so you don't need to be a color expert. For those looking for more control over whitepoint, contrast, brightness or ambient measurements, choose the advanced mode. And, DDC auto detect controlwill quickly determine if your monitor is compliant and if so, perform all advanced calibrations automatically, delivering a high quality profile.
ColorMunki can calibrate multiple displays with ease and provides before and after visualization, as well as calibration reminder prompts.
Printer Calibration:
Complete color control and optimized printer profiling makes sure that the color you see on your display is the color that you get.
New RGB and CMYK printer calibration technology delivers outstanding a high quality printer profile quality. Simply scan one test chart of only 50 patches and ColorMunki calculates an interim profile having learned how your printer behaves with these colors. It then produces a second chart of 50 patches that perfects your profile once you scan it. ColorMunki is so smart it even has the ability to optimize your profile based on spot colors so you can achieve the best output for your design work.
With AppSet™, there is no need to worry about what to do with your new printer profile. ColorMunki talks to your design and photo applications and automates the printer profile settings.
Projector Calibration:
Tired of making excuses for your projected work? ColorMunki technology will give you fast and accurate projector profiles so you can show your designs on the big screen to clients, family and friends with color confidence!
