Heavy Chocolate Brown Profile?
I'VE POSTED THIS ON THE B&W SITE AS WELL.
I'm sorry to say that I don't have an eye-one, only an X-Rite 400
densitometer. I've switched from a 7500, which I've had monumental
clogging problems

Re: QTR on Epson Velvet
I second that observation Diane...I just started using VFA on a Pro4000 and have used the EEM curves with great satisfaction, though the final output seems a bit warmer than the EEM proofs. Knowing

Re: QTR on Epson Velvet
I used the EEM curves with it since I use EEM as a proof paper for Velvet. See what you think--I've only done 2 on Velvet so far so I don't want to make any pronouncements about it yet.

QTR on Epson Velvet
I would like to use QTR with Epson Velvet paper (Epson 2200 printer).
Anyone have a recommendation on which standard QTR curves/blends give
the best results? Thanks.

Custom Curves
I find the HELP information jargon on CURVE CREATION in QTRgui to be
generally incomprehensible. Not that it would do me much good even
if I could understand it because I don't have a densitometer

Re: 'Creating Curves For Dummies'
Depends on what you mean by "optimal." Is your goal a fine photo print
or densitometry data?
This site is driven mostly by the fine folks who resonate to the
digital/jargon side and make all this

Re: need help
If you want help, you have to provide information.
Sounds like you must be on a PC? etc? Mac and PC are moderately different in this case

Re: enhanced matte cool curve
I did do the reduced modification of LC=LM=20 and it is about perfect, maybe slightly
blue and a bit dark compared to the Epson driver.
Will next reduce LK a bit as you earlier suggested. If that

Re: enhanced matte cool curve
You can try to change GRAY_GAMMA (midtones), GRAY_SHADOW (shadows), and GRAY_HIGHLIGHT (highlights). Higher values make that part of the curve brighter, lower values darker. Gamma will usually stay

Re: enhanced matte cool curve
I'm watching this and learning too--I don't have time for this or next week to try, but find the ability to tweak a curve a terrific boon.
Keep us posted.

Re: enhanced matte cool curve
Hi John and Dan,
I went with the lighter modification below as a start. Installed it and tested. The print
comes out a bit blue which is great,
because I can easily blend it with the warm one to

Re: enhanced matte cool curve
Scott I edited the cool curve for you. I just boosted the LC and LM Limit from 12 to 30. I
haven't tested it though.
You could edit the file yourself or email me and I'll send you the file.

Re: enhanced matte cool curve
Hi Roy,
so if one is writing a "curve" from scratch does one write a "curve descriptor file, .quad)

Re: enhanced matte cool curve
Scott,
On looking at Daniel's download, he's got two files. A .qidf and a .quad
1) You can just drag the .quad to CurveDropBox/Quad4000 and Run-Install-Curves
or
2) Make yourself a folder

Re: enhanced matte cool curve
I'm on a PC and have no idea how to install a curve on a Mac. The .quad
file is the same on both platforms though, so if you can put it in the
right location it should work for you.

QTR tutorial
The latest Mac version 2.2a includes a tutorial on using QTR. Some of it was available
before, but it seems to me (a beginner) to be more complete.
