FotoTuneFotoTune Color Management Software

FotoTune is the ideal tool for managing color conversion across a variety of input and output devices (including scanners, digital cameras, printers, proofers, imagesetters, etc.). Desktop publishers, graphic designers, professional photographers, and multimedia developers will find FotoTune an easy-to-use application for converting RGB data into CMYK values. It can even convert data from one CMYK color space into another, for example, when images separated for use on an offset-press are output to an inkjet printer for proofing.

You know how difficult accurate color representation can be when moving between a variety of hardware components. FotoTune enables you to effectively and easily negotiate between over 170 input, display, and output devices by including color profiles for Agfa's own and leading third-party products. These profiles have been carefully established in Agfa's labs in cooperation with the manufacturers of these devices.

With FotoTune, you can optimize the way your monitor displays colors by simply entering the colorimetric data supplied by the monitor's manufacturer. You can then use your monitor for reliable "soft proofing" of the final result. The SoftProof filter is used to display the image as if it were being printed on the final output device. It will also indicate which colors exceed the gamut of the selected output device and highlight the unprintable colors.

The FotoTune 2.0 Color Management System (CMS) software runs on a PC or a Macintosh; the latest version of FotoTune (2.0.1) now brings FotoTune's powerful color management capabilities to the Windows environment.

Agfa's FotoTune software is now bundled with Hewlett Packard's DesignJet 755CM Printer for high-quality, poster-sized color output.
