Changing Slider Settings After Generating Profile

Changing Slider Settings After Generating Profile

2006-05-04 by robert@robertwriting.com

Is there a way to change a profile after it's been saved?  I spent a good 
while making an "expert" level profile and after tinkering with the 
brightness slider at the end, forgot to reset it to "0" before saving.  Now 
all my prints are far too bright compared to my monitor image.

I don't want to read 729 patches again if I can help it.

Robert

Your slider settings are not (currently) being saved to the measurement header, so simply reopening the measurement file and rebuilding will get you a "null" (no slider) profile. Even when we wire the header data to be used when reopening, it will just move the sliders for you; you'll be free to move them back, or anywhere else.

This may have not been clear enough, so append this: In PrintFIX PRO you can build a new version of your profile at any time, with any slider settings, by going to the same window where you measure the patches, and choose the "open existing measurement file" section at the bottom of the page, and choosing the same measurement set you used to build the profile in the first place.
