Re: Need help with Extended Grays

2010-03-07 by Phiegze

I'm using Spyder Print 3.5b WinXp

When I choose 720 patches on 3 sheets it doesn't include the grays.
So I print the three sheets 

Then I want the Extended grays with any other target so I print that.

I go to the read patches page and under "Save measurements to"  I can choose EITHER 729, 3 sheet  OR Extended Grays

I  can save measurements to a new file "New test file"
Then what? Do I go back to "save measurement to" and make a gray measurement set?

If I do does that OVER WRIGHT or ADD to the original 729 file?

If I choose "Select an existing measurement file from the list" there is no  file for the "new text file extended grays" so I have to create one.  Which brings me back to how to do that?

If I go to the "save measurements to.."  
I get the message? A file named " 'test file.xml' aleady exists".
It does not say at that point if the new file adds to or overwrights the 729 patches!!  

What am I supposed to do?

One thing that seems reasonable is to "select an existing measurement file from the list below" and hope I can choose my 729 set and ADD the grays, but no such luck - too simple. The is no way to check the check box where it says " 'Use extended Gray' from:"  so Im stuck on that route.

I am guessing you are too close to this software to see this.
That's normal


What is extraordinary is how quick you are to give help.

  Thanks
