Hi All,

It turns out to be my mistake as a result of a parameter change of dispcal
regarding -p and -P.

In versions 1.0.4 and before -p 0.5,0.5,2 would affect the placement and
size of the measurement patch. As of version 1.1.0, -p has a different
meaning and -P (capital) should be used to adjust the measuement patch.

This change in parameters use was not documented in the changelog. I suggest
to add it, at least on the website as it might prevent others from being
confused like I was.

Cheers and thanks for the great software,
Luud
