Color Savvy ColorMouse

This window of the ColorMouse wizard is used to select the port for your device. The Calibrate button will begin the calibration sequence for the ColorMouse. The Calibration is not necessary to begin reading values; however, the accuracy of these measurements can be greatly affected by a mis-calibrated device. To proceed to the next step, simply click the Next button.

Color Savvy ColorMouse Wizard - Window 1

This screen of the ColorMouse wizard begins the strip reading process. To begin reading a strip, click on the button associated with the color you wish to read. Then follow the instructions presented in the message box directly below the Read Black Strip button. This interface is "hard-wired" to except the 17 data points used in the file "dtp32.ps" which is located in your PSFiles folder. This is the only test pattern that will give you a correct result.

After the densitometer has returned the strip values, you will see the message Done appear next to the color that you selected. After any one strip has been read, the button labeled Next will change to Finish. You may select Finish after reading any number of the four strips to apply curves from only colors that you have measured. Colors that you did not measure will not be overwritten should curves already exist.
