QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi, Jason,

Would you be able to send me a link or information about your six toning curves?

I have been playing with gold/selenium split toning both in the darkroom and with Photoshop. Would like to try it with QTR. My environment is Epson 3880 (K3 ink set) and either matte or soft gloss rag paper. Any info or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Norm

I want fairly conventionally split-toned prints, i.e. warm toned shadows and slightly cool highlights, using the supplied QTR-K3-UC curves.  I've done that, and was only really asking whether anyone had arrived at a different recipe.

I'm not looking to construct a complex workflow and endless variations, but the purple selenium curve may be of interest for the highlights.  Thanks.

Following a method Les Walkling introduced me too I have 6 curves - Neutral, Blue_Grey, Purple_Selenium, Red_Selenium, Warm_Black and Yellow_Sepia.  With small amounts of the toning curves there are numerous possibilities.  I believe Les designed the curves to mimic the old Kodak toning formulae/cards.
