grayed out testcharts

grayed out testcharts

2008-12-10 by jconison77

Hello,
I'm running OS 10.5.5
I was trying to measure a chart using the Measure tool. I selected the 'configure box, chose 
Eye1 & reflective, received the ok & closed that window. Then I chose the 'Measure & chose 
'chart'. I tried to select a reference file by using 'open' & chose folder 
Testcharts>printer>Eye1. All the charts are grayed out. I'm not able to choose any of them. I 
tried a different route..... Reference files>printer>Eye1. Again, all the charts are able to be 
choosen EXCEPT the one I wanted (which is a 26 step gray chart, saved as a psd, also the 
'Step-24x4-random.tiff is also grayed out).
How can I resolve this, so I can create a text file?
Thanks
Joel

Hi Joel,

Under  /Applications/QuadToneRIP/Eye-One  there are .txt files and
.tif files.  The .tif files are
the images you need to print using Photoshop.  The .txt files are the
Eye-One reference files
that go in the folder for MeasureTool.

Hi Roy,

So if I wanted to turn a 26 tone step ramp into a  .txt file, how  
would I go about that?
Thanks
Joel

TextEdit.  Look at an existing .txt, figure out the format and type it in.
