Hello,

do you feel that the use of many Action Sets is cumbersome?

I have always felt so. And therefore I have had all my Actions in one big clump in one single Action Set. Resulting that my Actions Palette was eating about 1/3 of the real estate of the screen. Because I want to avoid that lengthy task of pinpointing the mouse on to that very very small round spot in the Actions Palette, then ClearAllActions …and oh Yes I really do want to clear them all, once again back to that small spot and then Load Action, clickety clickety click.

But no more. I wrote a small CS2 script, the ActionSetChanger. It changes an Action Set that is loaded to the Action Palette, just by two mouse click. Is easily configurable, and fast. Does not affect other Action Sets that possibly are loaded to the Action Palette, just operates within its own group of Action Sets.

Now I have many nicely organized/categorized Action Sets (on the network drive so they are available for all the CS2 computers at the lab). And the ActionSetChanger swaps between them in a fraction of a second by just two mouse clicks that are less than 1 inch apart.

Hello Timo,

I’m trying your profiler
(http://www.aim-dtp.net/aim/calibration/xlprofiler/). It is pretty good, I like it. I was using lcms before, but I think you are on to something better with yours. Keep up the good work with it.

One question about it: I have a wide gamut digital camera I am trying to profile with your profiler. But its software only allows for extracting .TIF or .DNG with embedded color profiles. The profile options are for sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB, & ColorMatch RGB. I would like to edit the .raw data directly, to extract the .TIF without an embedded profile but cannot get in to the .X3F format for this camera using ufraw (camera is Polaroid X530, the .X3F files it creates are not following the same spec that Sigma uses for their .X3F format so ufraw bombs on opening the Polaroid .X3F files).

I tried using ProPhoto RGB with a .DNG that had the .RAW data embedded in it, used Wolf’s R030510 IT8.7 target & his data, ran it through your profiler. I ended up getting a perfect profile that looked identical to the ProPhoto RGB color profile 🙂 what can I do, what should I do, please help. Any ways to remove embedded color profiles so I can get to the .RAW data directly? Can you suggest something. Thanks.
