Re: inkseparation8.tif is monochrome...
Thanks.? I am aware of that.? When I open this TIF file in Photoshop, shouldn't it show all the colors?? My issue is that the TIF file does not have all the colors. I checked other inkseparation

Re: inkseparation8.tif is monochrome...
You need to print it to the QTR printer you've set up, and it needs to be NOT color-managed, and the QTR print options need to be set to "Calibration mode" (that's why it says Print In Calibration

Re: New (old) Mac
It would help to know what problems you are trying to overcome. I ask because I've been using Mac Studios since they came out. I'm on OS 15.3. The only issue so far is Apple's screw-up saving

Re: New (old) Mac
The Apple Preset problems began in Ventura OS so you definitely want something before that.

Re: New (old) Mac
A good idea. What I am wondering is whether a 2015 MacBook will run Richard Boutwell's QTR Pro version. If I am correct, a 2019 version is required there. Please correct me if I am wrong.
