With Coraye unlocked its possibilities. {% hint style="danger" %} Warning This feature is no longer supported from version 1.11.8 {% endhint %} ### 1) Introduction Coraye allows to add new possibilities for the use of your I1 Studio or ColorMunki such as: 1. You can customize the number of patches to print. 2. You can choose the number of grayscale to optimize grayscale images. 3. You can create a calibration before the characterization. 4. You can print the charter in one go 5. You can pick a color 6. You can capture a light 7. ... and you can use a ruler to read small patches... ![](https://817532847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LjCNvq-KDdSRn96lZIz%2F-Lre3dzsCQtwToGVoPDr%2F-Lre3oAKyhN4RBxm5SB0%2FIMG_2865.JPG?alt=media\&token=2399858e-cf44-497e-a7f2-9bb7f30a792e) ### 2) Reading with a ruler To use the I1 Studio with a ruler, you have to set the option "With ruler (smaller patches)" = "Yes" ![](https://817532847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LjCNvq-KDdSRn96lZIz%2F-Lre3dzsCQtwToGVoPDr%2F-Lre7XRC4C1L94nBqZ3b%2FColorMunki%202.png?alt=media\&token=337cd551-8acb-4103-ac8e-4baef66ee950) The generated target will be the same as the I1 Pro target. ![](https://817532847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LjCNvq-KDdSRn96lZIz%2F-Lre3dzsCQtwToGVoPDr%2F-Lre7aai4MQAzwUPBVAD%2FColorMunki%203.png?alt=media\&token=5669a49f-6d73-41b6-b499-af2488c0b7b2) ### 3) Reading without ruler To use the I1 Studio without a ruler, you have to set the option "With ruler (smaller patches)" = "No" ![](https://817532847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LjCNvq-KDdSRn96lZIz%2F-Lre3dzsCQtwToGVoPDr%2F-Lre7fYwNaRUAuCcIHDN%2FColorMunki%204.png?alt=media\&token=52cfe272-7fe8-41c2-a2a2-8831bd7697e2) The generated patches will be bigger to allow the reading of the target without ruler.\ As you can see, you will need more sheet of paper to print your target. ![](https://817532847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LjCNvq-KDdSRn96lZIz%2F-Lre3dzsCQtwToGVoPDr%2F-Lre7kpJV5iage5OBANz%2FColorMunki%205.png?alt=media\&token=43b417be-25f4-41cf-a8e6-3db728660523) ### 4) Making the ruler ![](https://817532847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LjCNvq-KDdSRn96lZIz%2F-Lre3dzsCQtwToGVoPDr%2F-Lre7zhENOLdXK4yd9P9%2FIMG_2856.JPG?alt=media\&token=d03fbda4-d70f-4dd3-9b2b-ac0694c74a1e) 1 - You have to download the drawing of the ruler in Adobe [illustrator format](https://mega.nz/#!FmQDXKyA!POeWHYpTv1Wex_jPCwY92pcXWIAx8UesebgNfpadv-8) or in [pdf format ](https://mega.nz/#!FjRTiaZZ!DMItf6zEJptlKociLyoRXnUv_5FdAtSRzqii4O7RQag)(with the cut contour) ![Preview of the ruler](https://817532847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LjCNvq-KDdSRn96lZIz%2F-Lre3dzsCQtwToGVoPDr%2F-LreAbJxFeEo2g8J6woU%2FColorMunki%20Ruler.png?alt=media\&token=392b6399-8118-4e43-9264-acb08574d242) 2 - Then print it on a thin material like a sheet of paper or a thin PVC. 3 - Paste double-sided tape on a guide 4 - Paste the guide under the outline, as shown in the picture below ![](https://817532847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LjCNvq-KDdSRn96lZIz%2F-Lre3dzsCQtwToGVoPDr%2F-LreFrWLsTfDjlQFTt5E%2FIMG_2858.JPG?alt=media\&token=2c9ab33a-51d3-44e5-9d5d-eda1e2dc039b)
