[Tool] ChromIQ – a macOS and Windows GUI for ArgyllCMS printer profiling (v3.8.0)

I will do, but depending on the chosen device (i1Pro legacy or not) the pwxf will differ, so I will make several workflows tailored not only to the chosen spectro but also wether legacy or not. Also I will put them together with the corresponding ti1/ti2 files so Claude can make an exact link/connection between those files.

Alright. Just for those last files you sent me via email Claude said that you have created some of them yourself. Once I took unmodded files for comparing it said the conversion was improved roughly 14 times (14x closer match).

You mean the TC924 files ? I have now imported the T918 target (cgat format in txt) form the native i1Profiler directory to generate in ChromIQ the necessary ti1 file and it looks much better (espcially the space bar arrangement in accordance to the colour patches it should separate). I will try to scan en create the profile this evening and report back if this time it is perfect or not.

I don’t remember exactly but I think yes. Claude noticed something in the header or so which hinted that those were no real native files.

OK, could be so I will try now the natively converted files for a new attempt to create the profile again and report back. Most likely my corrupted and not so well converted ti1 file (TC924.ti1) is the culprit of the strange looking profiles I get with ChromIQ. So I am now using a ti1 file that ChromIQ has generated from scratch to be put in the workflow I will test this eveing.

Looking forward to it!

I can help with that since I already had code to convert ti1 files to pxf in my old patch generator. You can use the attached python script (rename to *.py)

usage is simple
python3 pxf_to_ti1.py input.pxf [output.ti1]
python3 ti1_to_pxf.py input.ti1 [output.pxf]

Edit: I think this one had already been figured out by our friend istab but I was 3 pages behind on this thread

I am using Claude Code in terminal on my Mac and I have set up a Windows VM where I run it in the powershell.
Sometimes it is super smart and figures things out instantly. But sometimes it takes multiple attempts to solve a problem that seems relatively easy to me. Then again I cannot write a single line of code myself and would not be able to do even the sinplest changes.


Edit: @crenedecotret
was it you who inplemented the ability to click on a strip and make chartread navigate to this strip? It was either you or the other person who built such an app.
Anyway, the source code of Argyll is open and available for download. And it helped a lot to let Claude look through it to figure out what kind of warnings can pop up from each tool so it could create a pop up window instead of just showing the text output.
And for the ti2 layout editor it helped to figure out how targen and printtarg interact to make this possible.
What I am wondering is whether it would be possible for Claude to build an adjusted version of chartread that would allow it to navigate to a selected strip directly instead of only moving one step forward or backwards at a time.

I have mail for you Sebastian. Tried another pxf-file as base for a new ti1 file in NON-randomized order and from this:

to obtain a profile that softproofs like this:

I tried the new generated ti1 set derived from the original T9.txt (cgat format) that is included in the i1Profiler workflow directory, but that one gives me the same horrible profiles.

What is going on: the patch consistency of chartread does not give my any errors at all when scanning ? I don't think randomized or non-randomized should cause this problem at all, as the ti2 defines where which color patch is placed on the target.

Yes I did that.

I'm sure Claude could modify chartread but you would be stuck modifying it for every release.

What I did was pretty low tech.. if I'm at column D and want to move to B, my GUI knows it needs to send B two times. If you need to go back 20 rows it takes a second or two but otherwise it works well

OK this is the result with the latest version (non-randomized):

Softproofing is now ok:
