QTR profiles

rgayres44
 

A while back I tried QTR on the MAC under Jaguar and vaguely remember part of the
program allowing the editing of profiles/curves. I recently downloaded the current version
for Panther and cannot find a way to edit profiles. Apparently this can be done on the PC
version. Can someone steer me in the right direction?

regards,
Rich


Updated QTR on Roy's site

Johnny Eades
 

Just came from BWDigital and see that Roy has posted an update to QTR
2.2.1 for Windows to support 2880 dpi. Also included is the Moore
tutorial on curve creation.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny

Hi! I'm Ian McKee and I've just come over from digital BW.
I'm a retired chemist who still has and uses the darkroom but I also got a 4000 and have been having a ball printing from my scanned images with QTR.
I shoot mostly film 4x5 and 5x7 and am happy to expand my printing to inkjet. I'm also particularly interested in making large digital negatives for contact printing.
I'll be talking with you in the future (I've already had some conversation with Diane who was really helpful.)

Moderation Policies

Scott Graham
 

Hi All,

I have heard that Scott is grumpier than heck and will moderate moderately strictly.

So, the idea here in the QTR group is to make QTR info available and relatively easy to find
instead of being mixed in with a ton of other good stuff like in the B&W group.

Hence:

1. non QTR techno stuff will be gracefully rejected with a suggestion to post it to the B&W
group which I greatly admire.

2. non techno stuff period will be dumped "moderately" gracefully; this includes politics,
religion, philosophy, ads, and "everything else of a similar genre". This also includes
bashing anything, anyone and any company. My general thought is that most of the
problems that cause company bashing, for example, are user induced. There are famous
exceptions of course.

3. related to number 2: there are EXCEPTIONS. The ones that come to mind are ads of
GENERAL interest like "QTR can now be used with 'our inks', etc... And "welcome to my
exhibition in Paris, tickets are attached"... What I was trying to say in the previous
sentence is that showings of work are another major exception, unless they seem very
commercial. So how do we tell? post it and see.

4. also related to number 2: I hope that posts will exhibit grace to a greater or lesser
extent. Every once in a while I myself goof on this (lose it?) so DUMP ON ME, BUT via
EMAIL, NOT a POST. Often I catch it myself and go back and delete the post before more
than a few thousand people have suffered it. :)

5. Also considered not the best post is a "thank you for bailing me out of deep ???". Send
an email to the savior. They will appreciate it and our digests will not be astronomical in
size.

6. Speaking of data size, please delete most of the thread that you reply to, leaving only
enough for context. Repeated failure to do this in the long run will lead to mutual
frustration.

7. Initially post anything that you think might fit or nearly fit; I will be happy to consider it
and you might well help me define what I mean by all this. Incidentally members and
posts are not currently reviewed before they appear in public and I do not expect them to
be. If you have looked at the Epson 4000 group, it operates much like this; is very useful;
and I do almost zero actual moderation. Kirk started it right one might say.

8. If you should someday find that you are no longer a member, don't take it as a major
insult. It will mean that in my opinion you have stepped fairly far over the line. Rejoin and
we'll try again. On the other hand if you are ever banned, hmmm. I have only done that
once in a year on the other group.

9. And when you read this you may well notice that the formating stinks; word wrapping
at the darnest places, etc. I have never figured out how to fix this and would appreciate
advice. Is it just a Safari thing or????


Happy posting
Scott Graham


Re: Digest Number 0

 

All you need to do is install the new software, then choose your printer. However, I use the Macintosh G5 w/OSX8.3.8 and it is rther simplified to install various printers.

Subject: MIgrating QTR to a new printer


Ok, I guess I'll get the ball rolling with a QTR specific question.
I've been usin QTR since it was released for Windows with my 2200.
I'll be taking delivery on an Epson 4000 in about a week and the
newest release of QTR is printer specific. Has anybody else changed
printers? Is it as simple as just re-running the installation
program, or do I need to un-install / re-install? I'll be gratefull
for any advice.

Introduction

 

Hi Group,

I really hope this group takes off.

I have been reading the DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint group. While
this is a nice group it is not focused on the subject that is
important to me, and that is the Quadtone RIP.

Let me introduce myself.

I am an electronic engineer. I have worked in remote sensing
(airborne sensors and satellite ground stations) and color science
(designing proofers for the graphic arts industry).

I have a Leaf Valeo 22 megapixel digital back on my Hasselblad and
print on an Epson 4000.

I am a member of the Western Photographic Circle, which is a print
making club.

Good luck and I hope we can attract Roy Harrington over to this group.

Ray

I didn't-----this is Scott Graham's?doing *smile*.??? I had made a comment about the fact that it would be nice to have good info about QTR in the B/W file forum--in fact, suggested a post by Lou Dina which I had found in a search and had copied for my own use---but then Scott took the ball and ran with it and set all this up.? Hope we have some good activity on the group.
?
If you missed his initial post on digital b/w here it is.?
?
"What would be even better would be a subgroup, like a sub folder or sub directory, but I
don't know that that is possible in Yahoo groups,

so a new group is starting strictly focused on QTR.?

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/QuadtoneRIP

The intent of course is QTR related posts, but we will also offer an instruction manual
eventually and whatever else seems reasonable.? Will also depend on what resources we
can attract, and donations (of files: hints, tips, etc).

Hopefully non QTR related items will continue to post here because this is a great group.?
As a matter of fact non QTR items will be "moderated out" with a link to here.

I am in discussion with Roy Harrington about how much or how little involvement he will
have time for/be interested in.? I would hate to distract him from further technical
upgrades to the RIP.

The group will start slowly if only because I am in the midst of a cross country drive.?
Come join "us"; it is lonely l over here? :)

Suggestions are welcome: like maybe "don't bug us with another darn group, or..."? or "it's
crass to post this on someone else'sgroup" (I am sort of bothered by that)

Scott Graham"
?
Thanks very much for your nice comments about my gallery.?

Diane, thanks for setting this up!

Everybody should visit Diane's gallery:

Lots of well-seen, non-trivial work?

Diane, I like the quietest stuff best...your "product photos" of
ceramics are the quietest of the lot, but that kind of minimalist
photography can be very rewarding...as you've shown.

Your "monochromes" not only record objects and places from another
era, they look like they were taken in another era.

I guess I was too late to the party and didn't receive any 'notes' from new members (assuming you mean initial posts).? Looking forward to this group as I'm new to QTR.? I have demoed it for several weeks now and plan to send my 'shareware' amount to Roy today.?

Welcome to the first members.

But somehow I have already goofed up and when I approved the memberships (was the
default requirement) I goofed and the notes that came with the new members
disappeared, before I read them of course since I figured approval was more important.

Would appreciate a reposting by you all.

Sorry
