not until I can sell more work. 
 I used non- linearised QTR curves for over a year with fairly good 
results; then I got PFP 1.1 and the spectro, and the results were 
worse, not better. So I started just plugging in the nearest applicable 
set of numbers from Tom Moore's 'Ideal Densities' charts. I'm now 
getting the best results I've ever gotten with QTR, with a very smooth 
ramp and visible tonal separation all the way down to black. I'm on a 
PC, I don't even know if this is possible with QTR on the Mac version, 
but if it is you should try it.
