CADDON

What lemon yellow do you mean anyway?

"The yellow has to be warmer" — "No, it's supposed to look like this lemon." — "But that's greenish...".
The new caddon technology puts these time-consuming and annoying discussions, to an end.

With it you can quickly and efficiently conduct sampling processes with your partners and clients worldwide based on
digital, multi-spectral datasets via internet and phone. Because color:communication brings together the visual impression with exact measurements — pixel by pixel — no matter whether structured, patterned or curved materials.
This worldwide unique technology thus for the first time makes colour effects objective and clearly differs from classic colour management.

3 can:spectralize

can:spectralize requires for automatic correction of images & textures:

1. Multispectral reference image of can:scan
2. Scanned image or texture data of an RGB scanner (e.g. Metis Superscan data)

With caddon can:connect, RGB image and texture scans can be coloured with the multispectral reference values of the images of the physical reference without the need for masking or colour separation, etc. This is also possible with a high proportion of halftones in the decors.

Such „multispectral coloured images and textures" are automatically coloured into the RGB colours for various standard lighting conditions of the required target colour space in a single process step in seconds.

In 80 to 90% of all cases, no further manual correction step is required; the renderings of these images and textures are then almost identical to the original multispectral referencee. Any corrections that may still need to be made can then be made with very little effort to achieve optimum colour reproduction.
