I1Profiler allows loading the scanned TIFFs just fine *but* it keeps
complaining about the "format" of my custom measurements at the point of
loading Reference Files.
Roger,
I dug through backups and pulled the measurement data from that particular
job. Looking at the measurements, they were made with MeasureTool. The
spectral data were then read into Excel, converted to XYZ and CIELAB, and
written out to a tab delimited file. Header and footer information were then
copied from an already existing i1Profiler reference file.
That jogged my memory. We also tried using a Kodak IT8 (custom measured
rather than the batch averaged Q60 file). For reasons only known to X-Rite,
i1Profiler refused to accept tab delimited reference data. The provided Q60
reference files were all space delimited and that's what i1Profiler needed.
The provided HutchColor reference files were tab delimited, so I'm assuming
you need to match the existing format.
Looking at the LaserSoft reflective files, they are all space-delimited.
Whether you need to include the appropriate number of spaces for each
column, I can't say. That's easy enough to do in Excel.
WolfFaust reference files are also space-delimited. In addition to XYZ and
CIELAB, you will also need to calculate CIELCH. Setting all the standard
deviation and mean DE fields to 0.00 should be fine.
Best of luck!
