Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Error message in installing curves

2013-06-01 by Roy Harrington

Hi Kate,

My guess is that the .acv curve you have is in RGB format rather than
grayscale.
It's hard to tell which it is, but what determines it is the file that's
open when you
save the .acv.   You should be able to open any grayscale file, then in
Curves open
your .acv and re-save it.

If that doesn't work send me the .acv and I'll see if I can see why.

Roy
