QTR-Quadtone RIP

By linearize I presume you mean use the Create Curve button. That just
translates your curve specification (the .qidf file) into the form needed by
QTR for printing an image (the .quad file). The specification (.qidf) is
only changed by you, so there should be no changes in the Linearization tab.
However, what will change are the values in the .quad file.

The .qidf file is like the "source code" for your curve. The .quad file is
the "executable" version of the curve. If you're not familiar with computer
programming the analogy may be meaningless. In that case, sorry.
