Maybe? Is converting 200, 300, and 450 patches different than 800 in some way I should look for?
Maybe more than 26 columns?

I don't have much experience with colprof. It uses loads of memory and CPU. I have a feeling when fed inconsistent data it will barf or take an inordinate amount of time trying to make sense of it.

We’re not trying to make conjecture, I’m asking if your AWK identified a change in behavior over a certain amount of lines that I should be expecting when dealing with CSV, since you suspect I ran into CSV > TI3 issues as opposed to issues with colprof, which likely would have given an error attempting to read an incorrectly formatted TI3, and spit an error out quickly. “CGATS”, I think is the term I ran in to most frequently getting the arguments in an acceptable format for PS to even execute colprof correctly.

I’m going to do a bit more testing in the interest of verifying I’m not malforming a TI3 tomorrow—I’ll at least see if the TI3 from the PS works with colprof in CMD.

If you mess up the 'un-randomizing' you can give colprof a well formed ti3 file with measurements associated with the wrong patches. SAMPLE_LOC gets an extra character after 26 columns. Just guessing.

It was a really good guess, it's exactly what's happening; I just eyeballed it and came back here to report exactly what you said. I've been sick the last week, and I'm not sure I have the energy to fix this yet.

That being said, it'll irritate me until I do fix it. Thanks for that nudge.

It irritated me, so I fixed it. ;)

As part of the fix, I set it to export separate RelCol and Perceptual ICCs for an input CSV.
