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:           

For more information, see the chapter: Quality Control

Capture Color:            

For more information, see chapter: Capture a color

Capturing a light:          

For more information, see the chapter: Controlling an illuminant

Gamut Viewer:             

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

Config menu> Select lang

Coraye is available in 3 languages

Config menu> Observe

The standard observer depends on another factor which is the angle of observation or the field of view. Two values were retained by the CIE (2 ° and 10 °). Observe 2 ° is used in the field of printing where the color is looked at closely (ex: magazine)
Observe 10 ° is used in the industrial field where the color is looked at from afar (ex: car)

Config menu> Measurement condition

This option allows you to define the default value of the illuminant that will be used when calculating the icc profiles.

Help menu

Help menu> Clear cache folder

This option allows you to delete all the files located in the left column.
