Re: [Digital BW] Measuring color casts in black and white prints

2014-12-02 by japty4644@...

Hi Paul,

I have looked at the QTR RIP and actually installed it. I cannot seem to open the Create-ICC RGB portion of it. It is on my dock of my mac but have not been able to do anything with it. I am also very confused because I really have read too much from too many individuals and am trying to incorporate their workflows into this. Some say you need the Measure Tool, others say it is an older tool and will not work. Some say use Colorport 2, others say do not. I need to simplify this to it's basic steps or I will not be able to use this.

Even if I get far enough, at some point, I really do not know how to adjust the linearization in curves to get it straight and that is just the "L" channel. I thought that the "L" channel was just for luminance. If you do not straighten out the "A" and "B" channels, how to you change the color casts?

I am a complete novice here, but I would love for someone to help me figure this out. This has been a PITA for many months and I guess I am totally frustrated at this point. I would love to pay someone for their help to solve this issue. Anyone have the time and patience?

Thank you,

Jim
