Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this, Steve.
If, as you suggest, I drag and drop a measurement file (spectral or
otherwise) created with MT onto the QTR-Create-ICC script, all I get is a
text file (suffix ".txt") whose name is the same as the original plus "-out"
at the end, before the suffix. That doesn't look like an ICC profile to me.
What else needs to be done to create a *proper* ICC profile? There's clearly
something else that I'm missing to make the procedure clear to me.
Thank you, and have a good trip.
Marco
