PLEASE NOTE:

Because this software is freeware, has not been digitally signed due to the cost of a digital certificate. As a result, both Windows and macOS may display warnings that it is from an unknown developer and could potentially be dangerous.
However, great care has been taken to ensure that it is completely virus-free, including scanning it with multiple virus scanners before release.
As a result, however, you may have to temporarily adjust your computer's security settings to allow the installation to proceed.

Getting Started

Once ChromaMate has been installed, click on the help button located near the top right of the main toolbar and choose the Getting Started section in the help window.
Although much of the help text is still incomplete, the "Getting Started" section should be detailed enough to get up and running.
