Is there by chance an Open Source pilot for the Spectrocam ?

Some of you pointed Argyll Open Source calibration software, that supports an array of devices. Would you know if something Intel OS-X native exists, that would support the Avantes Spectrocam UV for measuring patches ? Paul Schilliger

I agree on Bill's images. They are wonderfully crafted and state of the art in scanning and color reproduction technology. I too visit his pages whenever I need to compare different screen colors. One image in particular, a purple-blue Wanda Orchid 1410, is a good intent killer. The stones hues are amazingly rich. Wished I could see some wide gamut samples.

I bring that up because I see his download page to those images and other great files are gone. Anyone know about this or have heard from Bill? > > The 28 Balls image is a ball breaker and shows a lot about the color engines.

How to keep CS2 active?
by Paul Schilliger 03 May '13

I have to keep an active copy of CS2, since I still use Golive 8 to maintain some websites, and also Photoshop 9 to occasionally run the ProfilerPro and BasiCColor Scan+ plugins. Last night, as I checked the functionality, after a third launch of Photoshop, came the dreaded message stating that some of the license information was missing, and I needed to reactivate the software via the web server. Since the service isn't available any more, doing so returned the error message, and the Space Monkey. I have now things back to order from a backup, but I suspect that if I connect the computer to the Internet, some agent will want to check out the Adobe website at some point and the same thing will occur. I know that Adobe has provided a fixed version http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ , but it's only English language as far as I can see. Would there be another way to "preserve" my localized version and keep it active, by trashing some "police" files for instance? Paul Schilliger

Parts of answers have come through private mail. I'm told that there should be support for the HCT target in future releases of i1Profiler, which I believe is a good move from X-Rite. On the other hand, what looked to me almost too good to be true has proven to be false hope. I could get hold of an old IT8 target to try the scanner profiling part of the software. It loads the image and file, but stops at the data processing step with message "can't find the appropriate dongle". The basic Display Pro package does not allow for scanner profiling, an expensive measuring device must be connected. The route for me is a BasiCColor upgrade, or keep the old gear running, which I'll probably do for a while. But it's good to know that the HCT has future. Many thanks to all who provided parts of information. Regards Paul Schilliger

Sorry for the duplicate post! I thought that the server had rejected the first post due to incompatible contents. It was my link (to April posts) that needed updating! Thanks for your early feedback on it! Paul
