Interesting. I like the way you can see a visual representation of the different color spaces. I can see why some folks like ProPhoto RGB.

I think part of the challenge is that the monitor can only show you so much and beyond that you're somewhat flying blind working on your screen at least.

I downloaded and installed it and can't get it to run. :

On my system there's now an icon called "Color" under Control Panel. Then when I run that I get into the little utility.

Further research shows that performance counters must be enabled for the program to work. MS defines how to set it properly in the registry using regedit, but the line that I'm supposed to set doesn't exist.

The icon is in my control panel, but the program will not run.
