More for design than photography

4out of 5

Pros: Reliable Performance, Small Footprint

Cons: Clunky software upgrades, Software install problems

Best Uses: Graphic Design, Monitor calibration

Describe Yourself: Pro photographer, Business User

Primary use: Business

That it's made by X-Rite is a plus. Their stuff is solid (vs. the Huey I had - yuk) and well thought out. The Create version is aimed at designers with Pantone color charts, etc. For the money, though, it's solid and almost a bargain.

On the downside, I installed and it immediately checked for upgrades. The new version wouldn't recognize the device and wound up having to uninstall it all and use the downloaded upgrade as the program. Lost almost two hours figuring this out.

All is well now and its an important part of my workflow.
