Curve Software
IDEALink Curve
In 2006, IDEALiance, the umbrella organization for both GRACoL and SWOP, and Don Hutcheson, the source of the current G7 technique and mathematics, chose CHROMiX to write a software package to streamline and simplify the application of the G7 method. This software package became IDEALink Curve, and was first announced in June of 2006. The final version of IDEALink Curve, version 1.1, was released on June 30, 2008 .
Most of the information about the IDEALink Curve software can be found at the CHROMiX website including downloads of the most recent version of the software: https://www2.chromix.com/idealink
The manual for the IDEALink Curve is in a pdf that is downloaded with the software.
This wiki also contains a small addenda page describing the ISO colors used in IDEALink Curve.
CHROMiX continues to maintain a ColorForums site specifically for Curve software products:

Curve2
In February of 2010, Curve2 was released as a joint-development between CHROMiX and HutchColor.
Curve2 replaced the existing IDEALink Curve software. Like IDEALink Curve, Curve2 is primarily designed for calculating G7 calibration curves, but made use of completely new core algorithms to gain higher precision.
Some of the 50 new functions and features were:
- basic pre-qualification tools that verify ink and paper colors,
- conformance metrics for NPDC and gray balance,
- introduction of a new document format capable of holding a series of related press runs in one single file,
- new graphs and graphing tools such as integrated zoom, pan and graph expansion,
- new export options including Device Link profiles, Photoshop(tm) curves, text files and RIP configuration files,
- ability to calculate ISO-standard TVI curves instead of G7 curves.
- version 2.1 introduced the OneRun target capability
See the ColorWiki page for more information on using the OneRun targets in Curve2.
Curve3
see the page on using the OneRun targets in Curve3.
