I believe the X-rite colorimeters are only capable of CCT and I think DUV. You’ll need one of their spectrophotometers for CRI. I’ve been searching ebay every few days for a ColorMunki Photo. I’m hoping to find one ≤$100. I missed out on one that sold for under like $80.
Nice! What software do you use once you have the device? ArgyllCMS + DisplayCAL? I saw something about OSRAM’s LED ColorCalculator, but the download links don’t work. (Hopefully, this isn’t too off topic.)
The Osram LED ColorCalculator link hasn’t worked for at least a months now. There was someone on Reddit that recently uploaded a copy, but with the r/flashlight subreddit going dark I can’t find the link. If you’d like I can upload it?
There is 7.61 32 bit version on web.archive https://web.archive.org/web/20190531143248/http://apps.osram-americas.com/colorcalculator/ColorCalculator_32_zip.zip
If someone upload newest version 7.77 64 bit, I would be very grateful.
Here’s a link to version 7.77 64 bit I just uploaded.
I do not use my Opple 4 either… big waste of time…
I have Opple 3, and it works for me.
ColorMunki Photo is a MUCH better tool than any Opple.
I think its great for people to learn how to get better data. If you figure it out, maybe post a tutorial thread.
I wish you success!
Sooo light masters are on sale rn. I don’t have either version. The 3 is $4 cheaper than the 4. What’s the general consensus right now? Just get the 4 and hope for updates? Or just get the 3? If you had neither
I’d get the 3 now.
Cool thanks. Damn good price rn. $25 shipped for the 3.
I would wait until after June 30, before buying an Opple 4. Find out how people feel about the app update, IF it happens…
I agree w TimMc that if you must buy today, instead of waiting to find out if the Opple 4 app update made any difference, as of now, the Opple 3 is the better option.
did some simple testing just now, new algorithm and calibration method seems promising, but I still use desk lamp for testing here.
weird, I can not post more replies. plz check another post above.
great idea!
Im looking forward to trying the update tomorrow.
Thanks for your help sharing info
app team has their schedule, they will incorporate it in July 30th version.
I pretty much want to share calibration method and algorithm with you guys(I am actually a software guy, I knew nothing about light metrics before, I learned recently by myself, hence I need you guys to help me), but I need to consult with my leader to make him consent.
thank you for helping to create communication between the Users, and the Designers
From my User perspective, I use the Opple 3 as a reference and compare it to the Opple 4… It would be good if they produced similar results, from any given light being tested.
Even better would be to use a more expensive meter as a reference for example a Sekonic, and try to get the Opple 4 to produce similar results for the things it registers, CRI Ra, Tint Duv, CRI R9.
I would also be really good if the CIE spectrum chart on Opple 4 would work. Right now it is just a static image that does not update with new light sources. It does work in the Opple 3.
I’ve given app team your CIE spectrum chart feedback. They will fix it.
This has to be done for all CCTs, all Ra / tints and other types of lighting as well. This is important to avoid any deviations if a light source with other CCTs or tint is measured.
I think it will be important to test all sorts of lights ranging from incandescents to high and low CCT/CRI leds, as well as fluorescents and HIDs (not very common but still exist).
I would volunteer to help out with development as I’ve got a pretty comprehensive light collection, but sadly I don’t have access to a Sekonic or similar meter.
It’d take a lot of effort. I personally want to expand support of more light sources and different CCTs, all Ra/tints. I even want to incorporate measurement of daylight. but resources and support is inadequate here.
