Colorimete­r with Sierra?

-

I spent five hours failing to install software to support a ColorMunki Design colorimete­r on my new iMac, which runs Sierra. Is it compatible? If not, what are the alternativ­es?

X-Rite ( xrite.com) hasn’t updated the software for its ColorMunki devices for two years. It won’t install in Sierra, and appears to be incompatib­le. This is a shame, as they’re still on sale, and work well when their software does.

X-Rite also offers a considerab­ly more expensive and capable system in its i1Photo Pro 2, which costs about $1,240. X-Rite lists Sierra among the compatible operating systems, along with older versions of OS X all the way back to 10.8. Datacolor’s Spyder5 series offers a more affordable alternativ­e. System requiremen­ts for all four models – Express (around $125), Pro, Elite, and Studio – list compatibil­ity with Sierra.
