ColorThink Pro - Spectral Data
From ColorWiki
Question:
What kind of format should I use when I'm trying to open my own light spectral measurement into ColorThink?
Answer:
The standard .txt format that Gretag Macbeth uses will work. If you have ProfileMaker installed (a free download from Xrite/GretagMacbeth) you can find the spectral measurements of their light sources here: ProfileMaker 5.x.x application folder, Measurement files, Light Sources.
Here's an example of the format from Light box GTI D50.txt

Note: This works in Colorthink 2. As of this writing (8.26.06) ColorThink Pro V 3.0.1b6 does not represent lab data correctly in the colorlist section of the grapher.
