Bill Atkinson's Target Reference Files

2005-12-09 by Steve Kale

Sorry for posting this here but I'd prefer the conversation to be a little further away from 
public colour forums for reasons which will become apparent.  Respond off-list if 
appropriate.

Has anyone tried running Bill's reference files and targets through EyeOne Match?  He uses 
his 4096 patch target for his new 9800 profiles.  Match can't read these because it seems to 
be limited to 119 rows of data.  It can measure wider (more columns) but the ruler isn't wide 
enough.  (Bill's targets are 32 columns wide - the max for the i1 ruler - while the default 
Match targets 27.)  So if you load Bill's 4096 reference file in Match you can't measure the last 
9 rows.

Obviously MeasureTool can read the 4096 patch target but the data still needs to be 
processed into an ICC profile by a profiling application.  That's fine if you have the very 
expensive PM5 but I'm wondering if Match can process a higher observation data set than it 
can read.  For example, if one read the data with MeasureTool, saved it and then loaded the 
measured data into Match would the profile use all the data points?  If anyone has dabbled 
with this I'd be very interested.
