Graeme,

I found a problem with the program I used to verify that the scanin values made sense (they did not). I guessed that if there was something wrong with scanin it would have been known by now, so I used 2-3 other programs just to make sure the scanin data made sense and now I get a very good match. Sorry about that.

Still, I'm using a ColorChecker Passport 2 instead of a ColorChecker and I'd like to verify the reference are an excellent match or better yet create a new set of reference files CCP2Half.cht, CCP2Half.cie.  I'm using an I1 Pro 2, should be good enough to get good data, right?

Currently, I'm not sure I'm getting a good match with ColorChecker.cie and my readings of my Passport with my spectro. What kind of say DE2000 I should expect?

Also I see the ColorChecker.cie doesn't have spectral data, would there be any benefit in having them?

I intend to measure my Passport at least 5 times and average the results. Would that be enough?

My goal is to make sure I don't feed bad data to colprof or whatever program I'll use to make my profile. I see in some papers they seem to obtain much better results (avg. DE2000) then I got so far with colprof, (matrix only) it's the main reason I started to verify I got good data to use with colprof.

Any suggestions on making reference files for the full set of CCP2 patches?


With PS, you can display 0-255 (8 bit), 0-32768 (15 bit PS anomaly ?) and 0-1 (32 bit) and same for CYMK.

0 to 255.996 or 0 to 100 for 16 bit RGB values.
