QTR-Quadtone RIP

Eric,

I keep the Create-ICC program on my desktop for easy access.  When I 
read the data from my 21 step gray ramp, I also save that onto my 
desktop as a tab delimited text file.  Then I drag this text file 
onto the Create-ICC icon, and it automatically generates an ICC 
profile.  This ICC profile also shows up as an icon on my desktop.  
Since I am on a windows machine, I copy and paste this profile into 
my default system color profiles folder (c:\winnt\system32
\spool\drivers\color).  Depending on your OS the path may be 
different.  

Once there, it should be available in Photoshop for soft proofing and 
conversion, if desired.  If PS was open when you pasted the ICC 
profile into your profiles directory, you may need to reboot PS so it 
sees the profile.

When I am done, I delete the text file and the ICC profile from my 
desktop, since I no longer need them.
