Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Printing custom targets

2015-02-03 by Ernst Dinkla

The created RGB target can be printed through QTR as well, it will act as a greyscale. At least that is what I recall.

For conversion you could assign AdobeRGB to the RGB target when loading in PhotoShop and convert to Greyscale with Gamma 2.2, then save without a profile attached. Both spaces have Gamma 2.2. In theory Photoshop does not interfere then, it would surprise me when the numbers change with that method.

Thanks Richard. I used CMYK in ColorPort originally.


It's probably my lack of understanding but, once I convert to GG in PS, the histogram readout is not linear.
Using your data, for K, I get 100,99,97,95 etc. I expected to see the numbers that I had entered. The RGB is similar, it goes 0,1,1,3 for L.
