QTR-Quadtone RIP

David,
If you are doing digital negs, Ron Reeder's tutorial (and the book he 
and Brad Hinkel wrote) should help.  Also check in at The Hybrid 
Photo board if you aren't already there.
It would probably make sense to just make some prints with QTR before 
making the negatives.  Should save some time.  If you have to get 
into curve making and relinearizing, Tom Moore's tutorial should be 
helpful.  It is available at the QTR site.  It all seems obtuse at 
the beginning (I'm still not sure I have it all) but doing is much 
better then reading.  It is the only way for it to start making sense.
Please feel free to check in here when we can help answer questions.  
I have a few old posts saved that may help, but I'm not sure where 
you are in the process and don't want to post things that just add to 
the confusion.
Again, I hope you feel welcome here, and keep us posted on your 
progress, because although I currently am not doing digital negs, it 
is one of the really interesting uses of QTR and I am trying keep up 
with it.  

Peter
