    i just had a look at that program…. that is a bizare tool….

    its a little bit more to it then just a quick conversion…

    with regards the BS numbers, use a paint swatch, its the best way.. .your eyes give you guarantees.

    I agree Dave… but it is a handy tool if you have nothing else at hand, and as you say the best way is with swatches.
