Digital BW, The Print

Djon,

I've been using Qimage for quite a few years.  I haven't used many 
of its editing features as I do most of that in Photoshop.

But I do all of my cropping, some of my sharpening, and all of my 
printing with Qimage.

I've just started to use QTR and like it.  After cropping, 
sharpening and sizing with Qimage, I "Print to File" in Qimage and 
produce a TIF image (without a Printer ICC profile.)  Even though 
Qimage produces an RGB image, I understand that the latest QTR 
converts it to grayscale.

I then open QTR and import the Qimage "print to file" image (you can 
also have QTR "monitor" the folder that you use to store the 
Qimage "print to file" image).  I don't need to make any other image 
adjustments other than select the desired set of curves.  Then I 
print.

Hope this helps.

Fred
