Re: Is this possible? .... QRT curve points/point list

2008-01-25 by evanj1969

I figured it out.
 the linearization data that was entered was throwing my curves WAY 
out of wack. (I was using a MSR-neutral curve as my starting point)
 once I cleared all the figures out, my preview in the and "point 
list", and my curves via "show curve" look almost identical.


 it's all coming together after several days of experimenting.

 so in your experience, if using the "point list" option, it "seems" 
that the "black boost" no longer works, but I assume that 
the "default ink limit" does.
 is that correct??


 thanks as always paul, and to all those that offer so much help here
