Need a refresher on how to use GG22-to-QTR

2016-02-10 by paulmwhiting@...

I haven't used this file for a long time, but lately my prints have lacked a little something. GG22-to-QTR was mentioned in another thread a few days ago so I thought I'd try it. Today I thought I was using that add-on correctly but would someone review how to use it for me?

Am using an Epson 1400, PremierArt Fine Art Smooth 205gsm, and Paul's Carbon-6 (homebrew version of Eboni-6). Lately my prints are rather cold. I suppose it's the look some would prefer but for some subjects I grew to like the warmth of the Carbon inkset. Can anyone suggest why my prints are more neutral? My pint of Eboni (the original,1.0) is dated to be out of date last December, but a couple of months over shouldn't matter.

I pulled up my image into the workspace (PSE 9), and would like to drag GG22-to-QTR over it. But somehow I can't get both on the screen at the same time. And do I use the TIFF version of that add-on or the ACV version? Somehow I ended up with the ACV version in additional to the TIFF.

This is elementary stuff... used to use it quite a bit but somehow have forgotten the flow. I seem to recall I'd have the photo in the main panel, and the add-on in the Panel Bin - but that doesn't make sense.

Feeling rather dumb,

Paul W.
