I had this problem with an earlier version of QTR2, and the reason was
that the curves are named for the sepia set, where the black and greys
were 'cool' and the toner gave a warming effect. So 'cool' meant no
toner, as you are seeing. There wasn't a curve to give a strong cool
effect. I haven't got round to looking at the current version, as the
version I had gave repeatable problems with fine black lines (which I
use as keylines) making it unusable. Nothing in the release notes gave
any indication that an attempt had been made to address this issue,
and I've been busy with other things. I've reverted to using the Roark
curves until I have time to spare (or money for a 4000; even less
likely!)
