Separation Job - Import Density Linearization correction curve

Problem/Question

How can I create a Dot Gain Curve from measured Density values in a Separation Job?

Solution/Work-Around

  1. Perform Density Linearization text-based export.
  2. Open the Separation Job main settings dialog.
  3. Select "Import Density".
  4. You can optionally downsample the curve data from a maximum of 256 data points. Use downsampling when you plan to manually fine-tune the generated Dot Gain Curve after the import.
