Re: QTR version question

2016-07-11 by paulmwhiting@...

Thanks, Roy, I see... so in the list of components, the one I should pay attention to is the one named "Quad to Printer" module - it's very useful to know that. I did know that about the GUI... that issue came up a while back here.

While I have you (I guess I'm going to be guilty of some thread drift here!), I'm having a sizing problem. I thought a QTR update might help me, so this problem is related to my OP in some fashion. There's a script developed by someone over on the Photoshop Elements and More website. The script converts a color image into a black and white simulated sketch image - works on the full-blown version of Photoshop also. My color original was 3000 x 4000 pixels and its b/w version was the same. I wanted to print on a 5x7 sheet of paper but when I reduced it in QTR to about 600 x 800 pixels its print size on paper was not 5x7 but more like 2x3 inches. I tried reducing the image outside of QTR at various sizes but it always printed at about 2x3. These numbers are approximate, but you get the idea.

Any ideas? It's not a hugely serious issue, so don't spend a lot of time on it.. just thought it might be something simple. I asked over in that other website but they were not familiar with QTR.

Wait a minute - maybe this is the problem: even though the version produced by this script is b/w, that's just the overlay. The original color layer is "underneath" and perhaps that color information is confusing QTR. Do you think?

Thanks for your key role in quality b/w printing!

Regards,

Paul
