Re: QTR Curves Not Responding

2005-04-01 by Andrew Unger

There are two curves for the purpose of blending.  Your blend may 
range anywhere from 100% of one curve to 100% of the other. So, for 
instance, you might try to achieve a neutral print by trying a 50% 
blend each of a warm and cool curve.  If you are using Windows and the 
QTRgui you merely have to change the blend by the slider or by 
changing the number percentage of the curve on the left.  You might 
try to experiment with a 21 step ramp and change the blends and print 
one test below the other so that you have a page of trials to compare.
