Re: Eboni Variable Tone updates

Thanks for taking the time to respond so thoroughly, Andre! Much appreciated.

I'm quite sure you are correct in differentiating between the three models of the ColorMunki. I was mainly concerned about my monitor calibration, besides that the Smile is much less expensive. I wasn't sure how deeply into this I wanted to go.

I'm quite familiar with CSV files so when I saw that extension I recognized it right away. What I didn't understand was how such a simple text file could be used in this process. But apparently, from what you say, the ColorPicker app is designed to deal with it. Actually, as I understand your workflow, it's very similar to what I do with a flatbed scanner. Would you take a moment and glance at my "Linearizing a QTR Curve with a Flatbed Scanner" pdf I developed with the wonderful help of a member here? It's in the files section over in our sister group "QuadTone RIP". It's at the top of the list under Tools because I just updated it. Now I'm using LibreOffice's spreadsheet instead of OpenOffice's and I wanted to make that simple change in my text.

As to the rest of your post, again I appreciate your taking the time to detail your workflow but I think for now I'll stick with my approach. Not quite ready for another learning curve - but your workflow helped me understand better my own. I think we're on the same track, but as you said in your first post to me that you're 100 feet ahead. Let's modify that to yards!

Best regards,

Paul
