QTR-Quadtone RIP

Ah the Challenges of Vista.    I have had my Vista Machine about a week
and learning a lot.   It my be old news to many of you but for those not
aware..I have found that when loading plug-ins and almost anything that
has to do with installing or serial numbers or activation codes that you
must run the program in as administrator.     Instead of double clicking
on the application to open it..Right Click and "Run As Administrator"
 
Good Luck

I just loaded v200 to days ago on a new Vista machine. Before I loaded
it, I
could import my old saved setting from the Epson driver and after it I
could
not. New systems new problems, but I am getting very leery of Mike and
unsuspecting changes in Qimage. I have not had a chance yet to run QTR
test of any kind with Vista. One step at a time.

At the risk of someone thinking that I've become obsessive about this,
I did indeed rerun these tests. Qimage 2008.200 results are at:

d-paris.com/BPC-Qimage_V3.png>
d-paris.com/BPC-Qimage_V3.png

The only one that has changed compared to my V2 histograms from
2008.109 is converting to a generic profile in Qimage without BPC,
which now has a very large amount of black point clipping. I don't
recall seeing any CM changes flagged in the release notes.

So now there is some reverse symmetry. If you convert to a generic
QTR profile in Qimage, you *must* use BPC or else you will see a lot
of shadow blocking. On the other hand if you convert to a custom
profile (or at least mine), then you should *not* use BPC or else you
will get a big dMax loss.

Go figure!
