Re: [Digital BW] Make a print adjustment curve directly from luminosity data?

2013-06-06 by Paul Roark

Drop it into QTR's Create ICC-RGB and use the resulting ICC to soft proof
the files.

(I assume they are using ABW, which is not color managed.  Hopefully they
at least use consistent settings, which is a problem I had with a service
bureau -- must be consistent).
