Can I create an ICC Profile from i1Profiler 1.6.1 (on the Mac) using just a CGATS file. If not; what is the simplest way to create an ICC profile from a CGATS file. Thanks - Mike Stewart

Yes, that should work, assuming it's got the necessary measurement data. Andrew Rodney http://www.digitaldog.net/

Simplest method must be using Argyll — takes less than 10 seconds :) Convert your cgats file to an Argyll .ti3 file: txt2cgats <inputdata> <outputdata> Make the ICC profile: colprof <input.ti3> (The only tiny catch is that colprof doesn’t need suffixes — so don’t type “.ti3” after the input file name, or delete it if you’re dragging and dropping before.) There are lots of extra options that you can invoke in colprof,.. if you can spare a few extra seconds: <http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/colprof.html> :-) -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd

Since you asked for the simplest way: drag and drop your CGATS file onto basICColor dropRGB (for RGB printers) or CMYKick ( you guessed it, for printers driven with a RIP) – done! Karl

The request was for building a profile, from CGATs data using a specific product the OP appears to own already. Of course, you were not the first to suggest an alternative product that isn't the one the OP is using or asked about:

Simplest method is, as I pointed out, is to drag and drop the CGATs file into the correct workflow area in the exact and specified product the OP asked about: i1Profiler. Andrew Rodney http://www.digitaldog.net/
Andrew und Karl are right. Andrew, for sticking to the original poster question, und Karl for "incidently" pointing out that, with some other ICC profiling package, it is as "simple" as drag and drop. The truth, as Andrew pointed out, is that "it is as simple as drag and drop too in i1Profiler". I might add that the i1Profiler interface could be daunting, at first glance, but it should be mentioned that basICColor automatic "queues" need prior setup, unless the user sticks to the default queue setups. It uses a "client-server" architecture, unlike i1Profiler and ProfileMakerPro and Argyll and many others who use a "client-client" (for lack of better term) architecture, in which the user goes through a bunch of settings, press the button and voilà!, an ICC profile. I think Karl comments was well taken ;-) BTW, Karl, what is the level of support in "CGATS" files? Do you accept various "flavors" of CGATS files? I remember not being able to directly get i1Profiler to accept some flavors of CGATS file...

Roger, the products dropRGB and CMYKick do not need any prior setup. Maybe you are referring to "print", which is the basICColor profiler offering the possibility to influence the profiling parameters in all details. There you have 3 possible workflows. Load (or drag & drop) a CGATS file, select a preset (btw: one of them is the fully automated CMYKick and dropRGB respectively), get profile. Click a preset and select a CGATs file. Load a CGATS file, make the settings and calculate there profile. -> Full freedom. Just work as you like to. You can even select multiple presets and start a batch calculation to test a bunch of settings. Regarding CGATS flavours. Personally I successfully tested: Files created by catch (basICColor's measurement application) Files created by IMProve (app to analyze and modify measurements) Files from Colorport & MeasureTool Files from Heidelberg Colortool Files from ClrChart (software delivered with the ColorScout xy-stage) All of them in the ASCII style, the new ISO 28178 xml flavor does not work (and I know only of Heidelberg Colortool which can create and load them, I'd be interested if there is more support out there) You can even load measurement and chart definition files separately.
