Webinar: A Better Choice than Photoshop for Color Brightfield Microscope Images
24 Sept 2014
Presented on Sep 10, 2014 as a webinar, you'll learn why ChromaCal is a better option for color consistency in scientific images than Photoshop. After all, you spend weeks on your study or experiment, finally taking images on the microscope, but the color just isn’t right. The common choice was to use Photoshop to correct the images produced from digital microscope cameras, until now…Hear why a Photoshop expert, image analysis consultant and previous core facility manager now recommends using ChromaCal over Photoshop for brightfield microscope image processing.
About the company
Datacolor Inc.
Datacolor is a global leader in color management solutions and color communication technology. The world’s leading brands, manufacturers, creative professionals, consumers and now scientists, have been choosing Datacolor’s innovative technology and solutions to consistently achieve the right color for more than 40 years.
Datacolor ChromaCal™ is the world’s first color calibration solution for transmitted light microscope images. Microscopes, microscope cameras and imaging systems are more sophisticated than ever, yet color can be compromised at any step in the imaging process. Monitors are used for both live image adjustment before acquisition as well as viewing and analyzing the captured image. Microscopes, light sources, cameras and imaging software all function differently and provide different results. Often, scientists rely on subjective, non-scientific approaches (such as Photoshop) to adjust color in images. ChromaCal delivers an objective, standardized and scientific solution to color calibration that accounts for color variability originating from the microscope, camera and monitor. The result is reliable color and comparable images from experiment to experiment, and system to system.
Datacolor has a global presence encompassing a sales, service and support network serving customers in more than 65 countries throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia, along with 15 worldwide operation and production facilities. This combination has given the company an intimate understanding of its core markets and how they depend on color, thus allowing Datacolor to provide cost-effective solutions to manage color globally throughout its customers’ workflows – enabling them to realize their vision, save time, improve quality, reduce costs, and excite their customers. Industries served include apparel and textile, paint and coatings, automotive, plastics, microscopy, photography, videography, digital imaging, home theater, ink, printing, paper, leather and others.
