Digital BW, The Print

I've read so much about it here! It's time for me to try it for
myself. Where can I download it?

Thank you.

Here you go, you will need both programs if you are using Windows 
2000/Xp...

It's a great program and cheap..

Thank you. I succesfully downloaded both programs and then opened
them (it?). Things seemed to work but extraordinarily slowly. This
applied both to selecting the image I wanted to print and, finally,
printing it. The print cropped the original image as well. What am I
doing wrong? And, more to the point, what are the advantages of QTR
over the Epson driver? I'm using Paint Shop Pro (9.0), Windows 2000
professional and an Epson 1280 printer.

Thank you.

I tried once again to use the program. This time I got the message
"invalid floating point operation" when I selected an image. I tried
this several time with different images, even removed and reinstalled
the programs. Same result.

What now?

Do your images have a "tiff" extension? If so, try renaming them to 
have a "tif" extension. I also get the same error message when 
trying to open a file with a tiff extension but I am able to open it 
after changing the extension.

Don't give up - Roy's QTR and Stephen's QTRGui are really great. 
Metamerism free using the standard Epson inks. And very easy to use.

You need to remove the QTRgui.ini file I believe.

Could you provide some more information:
 
What OS
What version of QTR
What happened after you "OK" the "invalid floating point operation"
Some description of the image: Is  it 8 bit grayscale, 24bit RGB, or what.
Was it saved with compression? What kind of compression. Was it saved with
Alpha Channels? What is the size of the image?

No, just the tif extension. But thanks anyway.

What OS - Windows 2000

What version of QTR  2.1.1

What happened after you "OK" the "invalid floating point operation" -
the window where the image is supposed to be says "unsupported format"
and has a red circle with a "/" across it

Some description of the image:  8 bit greyscale

Was it saved with compression? Yes

What kind of compression. LZW

Was it saved with Alpha Channels? No. And no layers.

What is the size of the image? I tried several ranging from 5-40 mb.

Thank you.

Try the same image saving it without the compression. If this works, I'd
like a small sample image that causes the error.

Hi,
I just installed QTR on my PC. Using XP pro.
Reading the help file, is it correct that  you have to convert any b/w
photos to grayscale? Also, to get the best looking photos do you always use
the preset curves? I tried using the default of none and the photo looked
terrible.I then used UC-Noblack-neutral on the left and UC-EEuhMatte-warm on
the right and the the next photo was nice but not the best.
I'm using a Epson 2200 and EEM paper. What settings would you recommend to
start with?

Thanks,
Jake

I think you should always start with one curve set to 100%.

It did work. I will send you the file of the image which didn't work,
assuming it isn't too big for my email server to handle.

Next question: is there a place where the advantages of QTR over the
Epson driver is discussed? I made a couple of 8x10 prints of files
derived from scanned 4x5 negatives and don't honestly see any
difference. What should I be looking for?

Thank you.
