Measuring Light Temperature
by Louis Dina 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

I'm on OSX 10.8 (Mtn Lion) and have the latest versions of both i1Profiler and ColorPort software. In the past, I used to be able to take light measurements and get lots of useful data using i1Share and other software, but they don't work on 10.8. I'm trying to measure my lights in my office (color temp and CRI). With i1Profiler, I know I can grab spectral data of light when building printer profiles, but it provides only a graph without numbers, and stores the data inside the i1Profiler software somewhere. Is there any way to export this information, so I can see the numbers? I want not only the spectral data, but the average correlated color temp and CRI. If this software won't do it, is there any inexpensive or freebie software for the Mac that will do some of the things I used to be able to do with ProfileMaker, MeasureTool, i1Share, etc? Thanks, Lou Dina

Re: 'black start' according to X-Rite i1Profiler 1.4.2

Nice of them to document it :-( It caught me out a few days ago, after recalling a previous 'workflow' and seeing 'Black Start 70', thought it had corrupted, so changed it to 30 and made a new profile which I found had no black in the mid-tones, DUH! >From the (NO) Help Menu: ' When the value is set to "0", black will be immediately available to the separation, and will result in the appearance of black in very light tones.'
