v3.8.2
2019737

A small, focused addition for anyone who likes to keep their measurement
files tidy.

🔬 Leaner measurement files

  • The Measure tab's Manual mode gains a new option,
    "Don't save spectral data (-n)". Switch it on and the chart reader
    stores only the colour values (XYZ, or L*a*b*) in the .ti3 file and
    leaves out the per-wavelength spectrum — roughly three dozen extra numbers
    per patch. The file becomes much shorter and far easier to review by eye.
  • Your profile is unaffected: building the ICC only needs the colour values,
    which are always kept, so a profile made with this option on is identical
    to one made with it off. Leave it off (the default) if you rely on the
    spectrum later — for optical-brightener (FWA) compensation when building
    the profile, or to re-derive values under a different illuminant. A
    detailed ⓘ explainer next to the option spells out the trade-offs.

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.
