Re: [Digital BW] Your thoughts: routine use of Qimage?

2007-03-06 by djon43

Thanks Tom. 

What advantages did you find Vs QTR with CS2 (my normal practice)? 

Is Qimage>QTR mostly a way to avoid post processing in CS?

Do you think it makes more sense for "conventional" images, such as 
journalism or weddings or generic scenics than for more intense "art" 
images in which each individual shot calls for careful manipulation?
