30.09.2005
The DiamCalc 2.4.0 (build 337) beta version is released.

This is a nonscheduled beta version devoted to the new AGS_2005 appraiser. The goal of the version is to help the gem cutters to determine the final grade of the cut. This version is not a final release, but only a beta, because the rules of the new AGS 2005 appraiser may still be corrected.

The DiamCalc 2.4 has the following new features:

The Brilliant cut has new parameters: Culet offset and azimuth, Upper and lower facets azimuth.
The new AGS_2005 appraiser for Brilliant and Prince cuts is added.
AGS Spread parameter is available.
AGS Angular Spectrum Evaluation Tool lighting (ASET) is added.
The possibility to choose the RGB primaries for color correction is available.

Yeah! Thanks ... Can I also have a second life for this !? Badly needed...


Btw. it is not hard and rather fun to set virtual reflector tools as light settings in the DiamCalc.

Before trying this out, I don''t think I had a good idea of what these things can show and where there is room for variation.

Perhaps it is difficult to make DC show artistically inspiring pictures, but it surely produces life-like ''Scope pictures. Pretty impressive for me.

Oh, boy...

You are digging and painting

.... and getting more and more lost in the process!

 

[valeria101]

Does it even matter ?

It doesn''t seem so, although sometimes in past examples it might have been considered so - some shading in IS images, little white dots or whatever. I would not like to see a dull rim inside the table but is it there? And on small diamonds the point is moot anyway. I am not good at splitting hairs...
