Editing Profiles

2006-05-16 by robert@robertwriting.com

I posted this question last week, during the time that, for some reason, I 
was not receiving mail from the group.  So if someone answered it before, I 
apologize for the redundancy but hope you will answer again.

Is there any way to edit a profile after you have saved it?  I did an 
"Expert" profile last week, and before I saved it I experimented with the 
slider settings.  Inadvertently, I saved the profile with the brightness 
slider set too high.  You can guess the result.

Before I start from square 1 again (literally), I thought I'd ask if there 
is any way for me to call up the profile and change the slider setting.  I 
saw nothing in the help files about it.

Many thanks.

Robert

Robert,

You still have all of your original measurements intact; that's what you
use to build the profile from. Just run PrintFIX PRO, reselect your
measurement file in the popup, and move the sliders back to wherever you
like.

You can always "edit" a profile by rebuilding it from the original measurements
with different slider setting(s). The profile is the end result of the "build",
but the basis for this is -always- the set of meausurements that you've taken
with the spectro; and those do not change. (Unless you reselect the measurement
file and actually remeasure some or all of the patches).

Yes; when you select your measurements by name in PFP's popup, you are
calling them up again so that you can build another profile from them. I hope
that clarifies things...:-)

Yes, this was answered last week. At the lower section of the Read Patches screen is a section for choosing existing measurement sets. Simply choose your previous measurement set, use whatever slider settings you wish, and build a new profile.

You cannot edit the profile in PFP, but you can reload the measurement file,
change the slider settings, and generate a new profile.  This only takes a
few seconds.
