QTR-Quadtone RIP

Ned,

Yes, this is the way it works.  The size is passed around as a percentage of the
declared size.  So small percentages show a large increment.

The easy fix is to store the file as the small size and then the large
sizes have a
large percentage.  In your case save the file as 6 inches and your
large size will
show something like 488%.   This way the increment will be too small to see.
Note that I'm not saying you resample or change the data at all, just
change the declared size (with a corresponding increase in the resolution).

It seems to take, but upon further investigation, there seems to be a requirement that the  image size exactly match a whole number percentage, as opposed to a decimal percentage. For instance, changing either the height or width of the image will move Scale from 20% to 21%, but exactly 6 inches in width lies in between the the 20 and 21 percentage points. And so QTR adjusts the image size (without any notification).
