[Openicc] [Icc_users] X-Rite ColorTRUE SDK for Android and iOS - balkanized ICC colormanagement ?

[Andrew Rodney]

Too bad it doesn't work as well as it could, at least on this end. The app, UI and process is super cool. The iPad application does detect the instruments (I used an i1Display-Pro and an i1Pro-2 Spectrophotometer) when hooked to the local Mac. But the results are just so-so. We only get three white point options: native, D50 and D65. None produced a match to my NEC PA272W! D50 was too warm, D65 way too cool and no way to adjust. Better but not the goal so the product is IMHO half baked. Better than no calibration but no match, X-rite needs to go back to the drawing board on this a bit. What we need is a simple slider to control the white point to get a visual match. And if we had a Tint/Temp sliders like ACR and Lightroom, we could account for yellow-blue and magenta-green. Or just one WP slider for dog's sake! I don't know how much engineering resources were sucked from the group away from fixing the i1Profiler mess. Hopefully now this is out we can get back to producing the high end product we were promised would replace ProfileMaker Pro and Profiler. X-rite has a lot of work to do.
