RE: [Digital BW] 4 color QuadTone setup

2006-09-13 by Gary W. Weaver

Hey, O,

Warning heeded!!!

I hope to play with it tonight.

Though, I opened up some other curves to look at the numbers, I never
thought to look at their graphs.

  Don't get me wrong, it is the final total linearized ink usage curve
  that should be +/- smooth. When you look at the separate ink usage
  curves they do look like moutains. Yet the black one is sometimes
  bumpy which you may not want thus adjusting as previously said.

  Although QTR is pretty user friendly, playing a bit with it gives you
  a much better understanding of the way it operates. That the reason
  why I like to visualise graphs without the need to output each time.
  Again don't get me wrong, you have to output for final evaluation.
