Re: Does the I1Pro and the i1 Profiler handle multiple readings?

2016-02-11 by ozwille@...

Hello Michael,

Creating a Profiler test chart with multiple repetitions of the patch set would enable you to measure multiple copies of the step chart into one text file, however Profiler will not average the data in the measurement file; that's not its job. Profiler will only average multiple measurement files when you make a profile within Profiler, not what you need to do.

I've dealt with the exact issue you describe by measuring multiple charts in Profiler and then processing them through BasICColor IMProve. IMProve will average redundant patches, correct errors, smooth the curve, and average multiple measurement files into one file. I do the same thing to the measurement files when making a grayscale ICC profile with QTR. The results have been excellent.

The down side is IMProve is stupidly expensive (the Germans are VERY proud of their software). I believe you can still download IMProve from BasICColor's web site and get a 2 week fully functional demo by registering on the web site.

There may be other s/w on the market to do this, but I've never had an opportunity to try anything else.

By the way, BasICColor makes the only monitor calibration/profiling s/w I've found that allows you to calibrate the monitor to L* instead of gamma. That's a much better fit to QTR than using the archaic gamma settings in other monitor s/w.

good luck
