  • Fixes issue on macOS where the hot folder setting was not sticky.
  • Fixes issues in scanner profiling with incorrect messaging about scan resolution and auto-cropping.
  • Fixes issue in the transmissive workflows where the template size did not match the corresponding test chart.

Change History

Version 3.8.0

  1. Lighting Compare Feature: Measure ambient lighting to compare to reference illuminants, a specified color temperature, or saved measurements. Can be used to verify that light booths are matching a standard illuminant such as D50 for print or D65 for textile production. Ambient measurements can be saved for to show results of testing the performance of a booth or luminaire in the future.
  2. Color Picker (beta). This feature allows a color to be looked up in an ICC output profile to the correct color formula in the profile to match the spot color  Spot colors may be measured, or entered as LAB values, or looked up from PANTONE Color libraries. This beta feature will expire on June 1, 2024; a future release of i1Profiler will be required to get a non-beta version of this feature to function after this date.

Bug Fixes

  1. Improved performance when looking up Pantone® Colors in the Spot Color Compare workflow.

 


Version 3.7.1

Upgrade Notes – This was the last i1Profiler release to support the i1Display family of display colorimeters. These devices will be supported in software from X-Rite’s partner Calibrite. Please go to www.calibrite.com to download new software.

i1Profiler 3.7.1 adds support for macOS 14 (Sonoma).

Bugs fixes in version 3.7.1 include:

  • Fixes issue where the Intelligent Black setting was not working correctly in Legacy Black Generation.
  • Fixes issue where CMYK profile settings were not being saved correctly.
  • Fixes compatibility issue in scanner profiling.
  • Fixes issue where CGATS files could not be loaded in the Patch Set Editor.

Version 3.7.0

This update to i1Profiler includes:

  1. The ability to find the best Pantone® match for measured colors in the Spot Color Compare workflow. Pantone colors can be set as the reference for tolerancing proofs or prints against the Pantone master color values for M0, M1, or M2 measurements.
  2. Adds a stand-alone gamut viewer and comparison tool.
  3. New enhanced black generation with controls to provide users with full control over black width and CMY gray balance beyond the black start.
  4. Enables users to choose where reference and measurement files are loaded and saved instead of always defaulting to the built-in folder locations.

Version 3.6.3

Known Issues

Apple’s new M1 Macs will support a maximum of two displays.

The measurement algorithm used for transmissive hand-scanning of the light box does not have error checking. Please verify all measurements visually on screen before proceeding to the next workflow step.

The i1Profiler Tray application (Mac only) has a memory leak when doing ambient monitoring. Restart the tray periodically to release system memory.

There is a refresh issue when scrolling within the gamut view window. If the screen does not refresh correctly, click anywhere within the application window and the gamut view will update.

Profiling and optimizing profiles with very large patch sets (>3000) will require a very large amount of RAM. If profiling fails, reduce the number of patches in the test chart.

Monitor calibration does not work when multiple monitors are in mirror mode (this issue affects Windows® installations only.)

i1Profiler does not support the calibration of displays connected via AirPlay.

If you have problems loading the display profile after it has been created or if the system cannot load the display LUTs, turn off Automatic Display Control (ADC) on the measurement page and try again.

i1Profiler uses OpenGL to display the profile’s 3D gamut. If you encounter a problem with the gamut preview, make sure that your video card drivers are up to date.

i1Profiler can import CGATS measurement files from other applications. However, the color engine has been optimized to work with the patch sets generated within i1Profiler. The profile quality from profiles made entirely within the i1Profiler workflow will exceed profiles made from legacy charts and measurements. In the case of CMYK+N profiles, some legacy patch sets may not build a profile successfully. It is strongly recommended that users build new charts within i1Profiler for CMYK+N profiling.

If you are using Ambient Smart Light Control when making your display profile, expect to get higher Delta E values in Display QA. This function optimizes profiles for visual appearance based on measured ambient conditions not for minimal Delta E.

The i1ProfilerTray application looks for connected displays at launch. If you disconnect or connect a display, the i1ProfilerTray will not see the change until it is restarted, the user logs out or the system is restarted. On Windows the i1ProfilerTray can be restarted from the Programs\Startup menu, on Mac, the tray is located in the same folder as the i1Profiler application.

The application may lose its connection to a measurement device if the computer goes into sleep or hibernation mode. If this happens, disconnect and reconnect the device to restore the connection.

Installation of older applications that use the previous version of X-Rite Device Services may cause i1Profiler to not connect with devices or to not launch. If this occurs, reinstall i1Profiler to restore the latest Device Services.

If you encounter any problems connecting to your measurement device, please disconnect and reconnect the device to restore the connection.

Make sure your i1iSis power button is on when you connect the USB cable. If you connect with the button off, then turn the power on, the i1iSis will not be seen.

The i1iO device does not support single row charts.
