I know there are RGB ICC profiles for QTR
gray-matte and gray-photo.? I also know these are to be used for printing
from Qimage.? I have and have used Qimage for a number of years and happen
to be using it this morning.? That brought up the question in my mind--just
how are others printing from Qimage using QTR?? Are you printing to file,
then using that saved tiff to bring into the QTR GUI?

Diane, That's how I print, and I believe most others do, also. When I print to file in Qimage, I set the printer ICC to QTR-RGB Gray Matte and leave Smart Sharpening at the default. Then I open the tiff with QTR. Works great. Some folks just set QTR to monitor a folder and let it print automatically when the tiff is saved in Qimage. The collaboration between Roy, Stephen, and Mike was wonderful and made for a simple workflow. I was thrilled when QTR was first released for Windows. Then when Stephen created QTRGui, it was so much better. And now, with Mike's input, and further improvements in QTR and the GUI, it's a real pleasure to work with. Metemerism-free prints and I can easily change the look from selenium-toned to warm and everything in between. What fun!!

This is curious!
?
I also use Qimage,
it’s a great product – but now I only use it for colour prints and
use QTR for b&w. Why bother going via Qimage for b&w, especially if
the image has already been processed in Photoshop? The only reason I can think
of is to allow multiple photos to be laid out first.

What am I missing?

I think Qimage's interpolation is superior. As far as sharpening goes, Photoshop does not offer Smart Sharpening, which is output sharpening. Initially I was printing my color images from Qimage and B&W directly with QTR but I noticed a difference in the sharpness. I would have to add additional sharpening. So I started using the Print to File in Qimage and I like the results much better. --- In QuadtoneRIP@..., "Bernie Raffe" <bernieraffe@a...> wrote: Yes, that makes sense, but I tend to do that kind of processing in

I agree with you LOL.? I did the
same--opened the file saved from Qimage (with the profile) and used smart
sharpening as usual.? It worked out great.?
?
I love QTR---its solved my one big
disappointment with printing b/w with the 2200--the metamerism problem.?
And--its so easy.

Bernard,

The reason I considered it is because I jump
through hoops to sharpen with PKS in PS (though I really like the plugin--but it
will only work in RGB).? Qimage does a really good interpolation of my
original digital files--and also a very good job with its 'smart
sharpening'--which means I don't have to fiddle around about sharpening (which I
always do as the last step after resizing).? I imagine I will go back and
forth between the 2 depending upon my mood and the image (PKS allows me to be
very selective about my sharpening and some times that's really
needed).

Bernie--I like it somewhat better than
sharpening in PS with USM.? If you do a lot of other twists to sharpening
or use something like PKS--the sharpening may better for some images.? As
far as interpolation--I really haven't done a comparison (though I probably
should).? Qimage does a bang up job of it though--but PSCS bicubic with
smoother or sharper is very very good.

Qimage
gives you all the page layout controls you could ever want. It also does smart
sharpening for printer output. You can do all these things in Photoshop, but
since you are using Qimage for color, I would guess you, like me, find page
management easier on Qimage.
