Could you please explain, what are the RGB_R RGB_G RGB_B values in the ti3 file 
? Are they observed  raw RGB values, normalized RGB by 100 or 255, non-linear 
RGB (if so what is the gamma)? I am having difficulties converting RGB_R RGB_G 
RGB_B to/from XYZ_X XYZ_Y XYZ_Z.  Help please!
Best regardsPrat
