Here's what industry leaders are saying about PM5.0.8:
The new colourful perceptual rendering intelligently maps problem areas such as hair and grass for maximum detail and separation in the print. Relative (colorimetric) mapping takes proofing to new heights in smoothness, range, and tone scale particularly suited for high quality reproduction.
Neil Snape, Photographer

Version 5.0.8 of ProfileMaker Pro may seem like a simple dot release but there’s a lot of important work GretagMacbeth has done 'under the hood'. The color engine is significantly better, producing much smoother and cleaner saturated colors, especially with the option to build a profile using the 'Colorful' setting. The speed to generate profiles has also been significantly boasted. I’m also seeing much better tonal reproduction in dark areas from profiles I regenerate. It’s good to know that GretagMacbeth is continuing to tweak and improve their color engine rather than just placing questionable features into a new build just to up their competitive matrix. Again, this isn’t 'just a dot release'!
Andrew Rodney, Author Color Management for Photographers

The gamut mapping capabilities in PM 5.0.8 is a leap forward, both in terms of color and particularly in regard to smoothness. Several of our customers including photolabs, large format printing and various photographers have commented that using profiles from ProfileMaker Pro 5.0.8 yield more intense colors with fantastic smoothness. One of our customers commented 'It's almost like having a new printer with a bigger gamut'. A leap forward for WOW color.
Thomas Holm, Colour Management Consultant and Educator
