You will find the Average Profiles tool in the Tools menu. First, you will need to select your base
profile. This profile will determine what chart type you are going to use. This profile will also be the first
in the list of profiles to use for averaging.
; Note
To use a profile for averaging, it must be completely measured. ICC profiles and calculated press
profiles cannot be used.
After selecting the base profile, you can add more profiles by clicking the 'add' button:
A list of profiles that are compatible with the base profile will be generated. If you have a large number
of profiles in the database, this may take a while.
; Note
To be compatible, only the profile’s chart type needs to be the same. The same chart type is often
available for different spectrophotometers. This means that you can measure the same chart on
different instruments and average out, compensating for differences between spectrophotometer
types.
You can give some profiles a greater or smaller weight, which makes a profilel have more or less
influence on the averaged profile. By default, all profiles are attributed the same weight.
