QTR profile creation tutorial

2005-02-15 by Daniel Staver

Hi,

Tom Moore has written a really good introduction and tutorial on how to 
create curves for QuadToneRIP.

I see the tutorial didn't make it into this release, so I've made it 
available here:
http://download.petraflux.com/qtrtutorial.zip (367kb)

The tutorial is not really finished yet, and it's not updated to reflect 
the latest changes that was made to the interface in QTRgui. At the time 
of writing you still had to edit the ink descriptor files directly, but 
it should give you a good idea of how the various parameters interact 
with each other.

I encourage you to give your feedback on the tutorial and documentation 
in general so we can the neccessary improvements to make this more easy 
to understand for everyone.
