Re: should I convert GG-to-QTR.tif to jpg when using QTR with jpg files?

2010-12-20 by Paul

Thanks, Paul, I figured that would be the case. But I have a confession to make. I've printed some .tif files without that layer and I can hardly see the difference. Maybe I'm not discerning enough.

Obviously I'm still rather new at this. Here's another confession: I still don't have a real firm grasp of profiles. Can you refer me to website or other source that would help me understand that issue at a basic level still thorough? I'd really appreciate that.

Regards,

Paul
