- Dental technicians comparing tooth shades in photographs
- Worth noticing
- A four-location Mac comparison reports maximum Lab-channel differences of 0.01–0.02; the page recommends standardized photos because capture conditions affect readings.
Field notes
The app is described as an overlay for existing image viewers, with readings kept in front when the photo window is clicked. Mac measurements are compared on the page with macOS Digital Color Meter; the Windows version is described as reading the display color profile. Mac use requires screen-recording and accessibility permissions, and the page says Intel Macs are unsupported. Its accuracy examples are from photographs, not direct measurements of teeth.
