If you have recorded Wavelength (nm) and Spectrum value of your custom dye in another source, e.g. an Excel sheet, you can copy the data and paste it directly into the Dye Editor dialog.

  1. You have created a new dye in the Dye Editor dialog.
  2. You have opened your source, e.g. an Excel sheet with the emission data.
  1. Arrange the data in two columns like on the Emission tab.
  2. Mark the data and copy it via Ctrl + C. Alternatively, right-click on the marked area to open the shortcut menu and select Copy.
  3. Change to the Dye Editor dialog.
  4. On the Emission tab, click in the first row of the Wavelength (nm) > Spectrum value table and press Ctrl + V. Alternatively, right-click in the first row to open the shortcut menu and select Paste.
  5. The emission data is inserted in the table and the emission graph is displayed next to the table.
  6. Save the dye via File > Save...
  1. You have saved a new dye in your custom database.
  2. You can use the new dye in the Smart Setup or in the Channels tool.
