Re: OT: Photoshop 7 Color Settings

2003-03-25 by Johnny Eades

Hello Stephen,

If you are using Piezography, wasn't there instructions as how to 
set up Photoshop 7? If it is similar to Quadtone printing, I think 
you should set up your working space and printing space as RGB, so 
the driver will draw from all the separate shades of black according 
to the image. Pretend it is a color image that is simply being 
translated by the software for Piezography into a grayscale image. I 
don't have Piezography, so there may be some special cases that need 
to be considered. By the way, how do you like the results from 
Piezography. I just bought an Epson 1280 and print in Black Only, 
and the Piezography interests me; but won't look into it till I run 
out of inks. 

Your friend in Photography

Johnny Eades
