Hello everyone, just subscribed.
First of all, a big thank to Graeme Gill for
this impressive toolset.
I already use Argyll to profile my scanners, with
great results.
Now I'd like to profile my printer.
I have a Spyder3Print
colorimeter (Datacolor 1005), which I use under Windows.
I don't need to drive
it with Argyll (I know it's not supported); I'd just like to use its
measurement file (it's XML), saved from its Datacolor SpyderPrint 4.2.1
software, to build an ICC profile with Argyll.
From what I gathered, I first
need to build a .CHT file from the (synthetic, so to say) TIFF target charts
supplied with its software; "scanin -g <..>" should do the trick.
Then, I
should find a way to convert the XML measurement file, which is like this:
<?
xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<NumVals>463</NumVals>
<RefWhite>9230 119
-398</RefWhite>
<RefBlack>153 -12 233</RefBlack>
<LabColor>1 626 -243 -95
</LabColor>
<LabColor>2 854 673 -3420</LabColor>
<LabColor>3 1141 1430 -4952
</LabColor>
<LabColor>4 1362 2113 -6057</LabColor>
[...]
to a suitable format
which Argyll may understand (.ti3 ?).
A this point, with the .cht and
measurement file, using "colorprof" I should be able to build the ICC profile.
So the main question is:
Any hint about converting that XML measurement file
into something Argyll can use?
Is the .cht generated by "scanin -g" from the
(original synthetic) TIFF targets OK for Argyll, or is there something else I
should provide? Maybe the original LAB values of the patches?
Or maybe I
didn't get something obvious, and the process is even simpler? :-)
Thanks
anyone,
Fernando
