RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Dumb Newbie question.... importing acv curves from photoshop...

I believe I just opened curves adjustment within an rgb file, and saved it. It worked fine in QTR.

Best regards,

John Moody

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] Dumb Newbie question.... importing acv curves from photoshop...

The documentation indicates that I can use an acv curve from
Photoshop, but I haven't a good idea how to do this... and the
documentation is simply not at all clear. Do I just build an arbitrary
grayscale (i.e. single-channel) curve, then save it and import the
file? Or do I use a curve with 4 channels (e.g. quadtone curveset)?

I'm just getting started with B/W printing, and QTR seems so far to
work much much better than the kluged ultratone curves that would be
used under Photoshop.

Thanks in advance for any help.
