Re: Roy's gray profile for QTR

2005-02-03 by Pieris Berreitter

If anyone has any suggested deviations from the following workflow,
please let me know. Otherwise it's going as-is into my "how to"
digital darkroom web page.

Download grayspace from
http://homepage.mac.com/royharrington/FileSharing2.html

There's an informative readme in this zip file, which gives
installation and usage instructions.

Throughout the workspace, there is only one instance when you would
ever use "assign profile" as opposed to "convert to profile." That is
if you are perfectly happy with how your existing image prints, but
you want to use Gray Lab to save time and space.

PC users:
- Get the image into Gray Lab by converting to Gray Lab space.
- You may soft proof in the Gray Matte/Glossy paper profile and work
in this space, for best WYSIWYG experience.
- convert to matte or glossy gray paper profile
when ready to print.

Mac users (what Steve Kale said):
same as for PC, but when printing:
- print with the following settings:
document space=QTR Gray Lab
print space=QTR Gray Matte/Photo Paper
Intent=Perceptual
Black Point Compensation=on
