Then click on the " Close " button Now your spectrophotometer should be recognized by Coraye.Interface presentation Before starting to use your Coraye software, we invite you to a presentation of its graphical interface. Display areas Coraye's graphical interface is structured in 6 areas, plus a menu bar. The Yellow zone (Creation and analysis tools) This area is made up of seven pictograms associated with Coraye modules From left to right we have: Calibration & Characterization:         This module is used to calibrate and characterize RGB or CMYK printing systems For more information, see chapter: Calibration & Characterization Print Control:       This module allows:- Control of CMYK Fogra & IDEAlliance proofs- Creation of custom RGB & CMYK control ranges- Control of printer stability- Comparison between two test charts (for example IT8 or ECI)- Tone control direct For more information, see the chapter: Quality Control Capture Color:         This module allows you to measure colors using your spectrophotometer. The samples can then be used for: - Find shades ( Color Finder Module) - Be converted to RGB or CMYK ( Color Converter Module) - Be converted to density ( Color Density Module) - Be compared to other colors ( Delta Finder Module) - Be displayed in 3D ( Gamut Viewer Module) - Be added to a color table ( Color Table Module ) - Display its reflectance curve ( Spectral Viewer Module) - etc ... For more information, see chapter: Capture a color Capturing a light: This module makes it possible to measure a light source in order to check its quality and also to adjust the cabins (viewers). For more information, see the chapter: Controlling an illuminant Gamut Viewer: A very fun module which allows you to display and compare in 3D:- The measured samples- The colors of a table (for example PANTONE, RAL, etc ...)- The gamuts of the icc v2 profiles (does not support icc v4)- The gamuts of the jpeg and Tiff images- The training. For more information, see the chapter: Gamut Viewer Spectral Viewer:  Another very fun module to display the reflectance curves of the measured colors and the spectral curves of the illuminants. This tool can be useful for:- Analyzing the white of the papers - Analyzing the quality of light sources- Analyzing the metamery between 2 measured samples and a light source.- Training. For more information, see chapter: Spectral Viewer Color Table: The Color Table module is a major module of the Coraye solution. It allows to create, edit and convert color tables. These tables will then be useful for:- Standardizing the color table exchanges between the software used by creatives (Adobe Suite or Coreldraw) and the software used by printers (RIP) for example.- Carry out color research- Create personalized test charts for printing control.- Create personalized targets for characterization. For more information, see chapter: Color tables The Violet Zone (Files) This area on the left displays the files imported or created by Coraye. A pictogram located to the left of the file name indicates the type of file (Colors, illuminants, color tables, icc profiles, images, control files, etc.) To use the files, just check the box, select or drag & drop the file depending on how it is used. The Cyan area (Information relating to the selected file) This zone located on the right, displays the information associated with the file which is selected in the left column. In the example below, the information displayed corresponds to the "Green" color sample which is selected in the left column. The White area (The central area for display) This central zone displays the instructions during the procedures (Calibration, quality control, measurement, etc.), the color tables and the graphic representations of the Gamut Viewer and Spectral Viewer modules. The Green Zone (Online help) Thanks to the keywords written in this search bar, you can access our online tutorials directly from your Coraye software. The Red zone (Device and plugins management) In this area at the top right, you can check if your spectrophotometer is correctly recognized by Coraye and access the management of plugins via the cogwheel ( Settings ).

Help menu Help menu> Clear cache folder This option allows you to delete all the files located in the left column. Installation and management of plugins The Plugins are the interfaces between Coraye and the various compatible spectrophotometers.If you connect your spectrophotometer and it is not recognized, remember to check if its plugin is installed.The tutorial below will explain the procedure to you. Plugins management on the CORAYE software interface Access to plugins management is made by clicking on the "Config" button located at the top right of the software. When the installation is new, it is necessary to customize CORAYE by adding plugins corresponding to the spectrophotometers and the color engine you are going to use. In the example below we are missing the MYIRO spectrophotometer plugin from Konica Minolta.So we are going to install it.To install a plugin, we have two possibilities- The first (and the simplest) is to click on the " Install plugin " button located under the icon corresponding to the instrument (for example MYIRO Pilot)- The second is to download the plugin via the Dashboard and install it with the " Install Plugin " button Downloading a Plugin via the Dashboard Click on "MYIRO-Pilot" The MYIRO window opens, showing comments on the features of the spectrophotometer. To download the MYIRO plugin, click on the button corresponding to the system on which CORAYE is installed. The plugin installation procedure is the same on Windows and Mac OS The same installation procedure for all spectrophotometers The downloaded file must not be decompressed and must remain in .zip format Installing the plugin In the CORAYE "Config" interface, click on the " Install plugin " button Select the MYIRO plugin (MYIRO-Pilot-MAC-1.2.1.zip) Click on the " Install plugin " button Once the installation is complete, the plugin appears in the interface. Management of plugins options To activate or deactivate the spectrophotometer, click on the button to the right of the selected spectrophotometer. In the example below, we have disabled Eye One Pro 2 and left Eye One Pro enabled. Management of color engine options In the next versions, it will be possible to install several color engines in order to use the best of each of them. CORAYE invented the hybrid color engine Uninstalling and updating a plugin To uninstall a plugin, just click on the red trash can button located next to the "Settings" button.
