Probably the easiest way is to take the TIFF itself, open it in Photoshop and use Nearest Neighbor and sample it down such that each color becomes one pixel. You’ll have to figure out the rows and columns you have for that target first, enter that into the Photoshop Image Size dialog. Then you’ll have a TIFF which has a single pixel for each patch, you can then import that into ColorPort (make a new Patch Set from the popup menu, then select Import Patches... from that dialog). Once the 1728 colors are imported, you can setup ColorPort for the page size you wish along with the size of the patches you want. Save out a new TIFF for printing and of course, CP will have saved off its XML file to read this in.
But you can save yourself a lot of work and end up with better results by building a NEW target in i1P! Its target generator is very good, you’ll actually get better results just asking for 1728 patches (or whatever you wish), have it save a new TIFF and reference file. IOW, you don’t need and probably don’t want to use Bill’s target any longer.
