I made a print in QTR I think I did something wrong
|
I made a print in QTR..print looked good..a little warm..then I
re-read the instructions and saw I was supposed to first change the image in photoshop to grey scale from RGB. I did that and the print was terrible..flat no contrast.What did I do wrong? How am I supposed to use the grey space zip file which contains gray matte icc, gray photo icc, rgb lab icc...etc.? They were moved to the QTR folder. Also I downloaded the curves for various papers, extracted them into QTR, but I do not see them pop up in the GUI interface. What am I doing wrong. As always thanks for your support..Ann |

Okay, Ann.? Hope this will
help.

First of all---the ICC profiles should be (for
windows) in the windows folder (should be available in your dropdown if it and
the other 2 ICC profiles--gray-matte and gray-photo--were placed in your
C/Windows/system 32/spool/drivers/color).? Process your print in PS,
convert to gray-LAB.? ?Now, you can softproof this by going to
view/proof setup/custom and in 'profile'?browse for the QTR-gray matte, set
your intent to 'perceptual' and check 'ink black'.? You will def. see a
difference--and it probably will be 'flatter' looking.? So--here's where
you can tweak--add an adjustment layer of curves perhaps, dodge and burn-- (new
layer/overlay check 18% gray and use your black and white brushes at about 7-9%
opacity) but as far as tonality/contrast, wysiwyg (what you see is what you
get)--but not as far as the 'color tone' though.
?
As far as the profiles, did you put them in
C/program/Quadtone RIP/profiles/2200-uc?? I think you are printing with a
2200 and OEM inks--not sure.? If so, this is where they should go and they
will show up in your dropdowns for your curves.
