QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Walker, something I've always wanted in both QTR and StudioPrint is
access to the partitioning curves. I think the problem is that it's
something most people will simply not need, or if they mess with it
will wind up with unnecessary problems. So I'm sure it's a feature
that would be difficult to include, and wind up becoming a support
problem, just so that one person out of a thousand can make use of it.
You have to hand it to them both, the built-ins work awfully well.
Actually I think there is access for QTR, since Jon and the
MediaStreet Quad developer both made their own. But it's beyond my
limited brain power. I think it involved editing LUTs in Photoshop.

So, I think your best option is IJC, and our friends Scott and Bill
could enlighten you to it's use a great deal. Pretty sure you can
literally draw your own curves.
I keep meaning to try it, let us know of you do.
Tyler
