QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thank you, Tom--yes, those are the ones I meant.  I misunderstood which files were the ones that Curve Creator could open.  I'll try the text files tomorrow.

Forgive me, the technical aspects of doing this are a little obscure to me, though I have read your user guide.  What exactly do I need to adjust in order to create a warmer or cooler curve than the ones provided?
