Re: [Digital BW] R800 and QTR

Scott,

I have all of 24 hours experience with QTR.  However, there are 
sliders on the interface that allow you to reduce or increase the 
amount of ink and to blend curves.  THere are only two curves 
available at this point for the 800: cool and sepia.  So, if you 
select cool in the left drop down menu and sepia in the right the 
slider lets you blend the two.
