I use a windows system. Therefor there might be some differences.
I use the Xrite utility ColorPort to generate and measure a 21step
target. I save the measurements to a file (format cgats). This file
can be used for the linearisation and icc-profile utilities.
The main problem is the "colored" layout of the Pulse-targets. I split
the target into two parts: the grayscale steps and the target-Id
stuff. I print the grayscale target with QTR and overprint the
target-ID with Qimage.
