Trouble loading/finding curves

2007-11-12 by bheller@aol.com

I have been running QTR on my IMac (Power PC G4) - Epson R1800 with no problems.? I downloaded the application to my Ibook, Intel core duo and have not been able to adjust the curves when I print.? I have loaded the curves that were contained in the download, both for the R1800 and the R1800-3mK.? I am able to pull up different papers when I try to blend the curves using the 3MK, but I can't find the same highlights, mid-tones and sepia curves that I have used on my IMac.? Both computers are running 10.4.10.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Matthew,



I'd recommend checking out the Links section of the qtr website.

There's info by Ron Reeder who has

done a lot with making digital negs for platinum printing.    See:
