Simplifies colour loading based on testing: reflective scan-target (CIE) files
and the experimental "stretch to fill the cube" option are removed.
🔧 Changed
- Loading colours now accepts device-RGB files only — Argyll
.ti1/.ti2
/.ti3/ CGATS and plain hex/RGB lists, in New chart, Add and the editor's
Load chart. CIE reference files (XYZ/LAB) are no longer read: a reflective
scan target's colours can't be turned into a full-range chart layout in a
meaningful way, so the "Stretch colours to fill the RGB cube" option is
gone too. A CIE file now shows a clear "not supported" message.- Want colours that span the whole RGB cube? Use Generate colour sets →
3D cube / Saturated edges — those place patches at the cube's faces and
corners by construction, which is exactly what stretching a scan target
could never do.
- Want colours that span the whole RGB cube? Use Generate colour sets →
- Removed the editor's "Append from file…" button — it duplicated Add →
Load colours from a file. ("Load Chart" is unchanged.)
Installation: Open the DMG, drag ChromIQ to Applications, eject, then launch.
ChromIQ is ad-hoc signed (not notarized). On macOS Sonoma+ the right-click → Open trick often fails with "Apple cannot check it for malicious software." If that happens, remove the quarantine flag in Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ChromIQ.app
Then double-click as normal.
Requires macOS 12+ and ArgyllCMS 3.5.0 at /Applications/Argyll/bin.
