Thank you for the participation in the survey! The survey was successful and provided us extremely valuable information. To large extent our prognosis and expectations match the survey results which is great. Some discoveries were also made. Again thank you.   

Based on the survey we decided to announce an approximate release date and a feature set for the alpha release.  The alpha version of the calibration and profiling software is to be released in the end of November 2009. The alpha release will contain the most important features, but will not be “feature complete”. That means that the later releases will have additional functionality.

Alpha release will

1. target Windows platform. We are sorry not supporting Mac at this point but the support for Mac OSes will be added later ( we are Mac users in the end )
2. support most of the I1 devices and with high probability some Spyders.
3. allow for arbitrary white point correlated color temperature (CCT)
4. allow for arbitrary white point luminance. Both CCT and luminance may be set to best match your tasks and ambient light.
5. allow for manual black point tune. It provides you control over the monitor’s black point.  
6. allow for arbitrary gamma. It provides ability to change gamma. Typical number is 2.2, however in many situations it is beneficial to use different gamma.
7. support matrix/TRC profile version 2.
8. feature Calibration/Profile setter. The setter provides ability to change profile and calibration curve on fly. Thus you may have several calibration/profile pairs to reflect different preferences and lighting conditions and switch between them on fly.
