X-Rite Launches Free ColorTRUE App – Colour Calibrate your Mobile Device
Thank you to Kevin Carter for bringing this to my attention. Kevin previously reviewed the DataColor app that’s very similar to this for The British Journal of Photography (BJP).

The profile is applied to all images displayed through the ColorTRUE Image Gallery, providing the user with the most accurate color match to a desktop reference monitor, or other color managed monitors. Steve Rankin, Product Manager, at X-Rite, commented: “While iOS and Android…
