Re: [Digital BW] question re roark curves

2001-08-29 by Jerry Olson

You don't use an actual Profile, Johnny.

You convert the file to RGB, apply the curve in a photoshop adjustment (just load it there), and when you print, select Photo Quality Inkjet
setting, and in the Print Dialogue box, select "same as source" That's about it.

Curves work for 1440 OR 720 DPI.  Error diffusion on, high speed off, of course. I'm on a Mac, so I use 1.8 gamma, on a P.C., I guess it's
2.2. Paul will know this one.
