Old Color Muse 2 Data Entry Form
This page is left here as a legacy for anyone who is used to doing the copy clipboard text routine I originally created. This was less than optimal, and a recent grid library update broke this entry widget. I was able to find an old copy of the library and embed it, but it forced me to look at how this whole thing works, and I now have a much better page to enter the same information in a new 5x5 test wedge target I have created. The new version automatically downloads a file to your browser download folder, so you can use it right away in your linearization efforts. You can find the new version of this data entry widget here.
This very rudimentary web-based data entry widget is designed to be used for entering LAB data measured with the Color Muse colorimeter. Choose either a 21-step or a 40-step target that is being measured and then enter the *L*A*B data read from each patch. There is no error checking. If you enter a negative LAB data or a number like 1000, the data will not work. There are not any guard rails, in other words.
Once the data has been entered, click the big red button and all of the data will be copied as text into your clipboard. Paste this into a plain text file and save it with a memorable name. It can then be used by you in the QuickCurve app for linearization purposes. The L values read by the Color Muse V1 are consistently about 6 units too high. This means the Dmax values reported by the QuickCurve app will be suspiciously low. Don't believe them. Or just subtract 6 from all the L values. The ColorMuse V2 for whatever reason measures LAB values that are almost identical to the X-Rite iPro2. Whichever version of the ColorMuse you own, the results don't really matter for linearization purposes.
Don't hit the refresh button on your browswer until you have entered all the data. Once you have copied it to the clipboard, you can use the refresh button to start the process over. Don't select another target style until you hit refresh! This is about as kludgy as a browser-based program can be, so work slowly!
