When I try upload and calibrate a photo, I get an error message. I am then able to search for my photo which seems to have loaded in spite of the error message, but when I try to calibrate, the calibration won't load and I just perpetually get the spinning wheel of death (the loading symbol). thank you for any advice. Sarah

ok, I posted the photo. The photo is uploaded, just won't calibrate. I greatly appreciate any suggestions!

Thank you so much for all your work on this site. A couple girls have been working on a Science Fair project and are stuck on this piece.

Oh sorry, I didn't see that -- will check the calibration now.

You know what, I believe this was because there's a "(" in the title.
Yes -- I was able to upload and calibrate a version which I'd renamed without "(" or "_" characters -- just "20161024_131831.jpg" -- https://spectralworkbench.org/spectrums/89557
Hope that helps! I believe we have a bug report for that issue but I'll check.

Also, would you mind renaming this question "calibration error" or something similarly descriptive? I could also do it for you, if you like (I'm an admin). Thanks again for reporting this issue!

Of course, please feel free to change it; I can't seem to figure out how.
Also, one last question; in addition to the percentage of intensity, is there a unit for the intensity? Again, many thanks for such a user-friendly program.

The intensity is not an absolute measure - just a proportion of the dynamic range of the camera sensor. There are a few approaches to correcting for the gain compensation of a webcam, though: #gain-correction -- these should then be able to measure absolute light, though still not measured in lumens, per se -- there are other factors like distance and others that'd have to be considered. This might make a good independent question and I'm sure there are others in the community who'd be better able to answer the question!
