Re: [Digital BW] Roy's gray profile for QTR

2005-02-03 by jymbo4600

OK I am really confused (not a new state). I am using QTR on a Windows
XP Pro box. And I really really want to try the QTR grey matte/photo
settings. All of the workflows seem to be for the Mac version. 

1. Where do I get the QTR Lab gray workspace? And where do I put it
when I find it?

2. How do I set it as my workspace?

3.I need a step by step here as I am totally at sea. 

Mind you I have been getting great results with QTR for over a month
and love it, but this seems to be an even better workflow.

Thanks for your patience.  Jim Weekes
