RE: [QuadtoneRIP] CURVES

2005-08-27 by Stephen Billard

There are a couple of possibilities I can think of. 
 
First, the difference in curves may be subtle. I have enhanced QTRgui so that
you can view the graphs for curve 1 and curve 2 at the same time. Download the
beta version 2.3.3 from www.sbillard.org/Shareware/QTRgui.htm.
 
Second, maybe there is no difference in the curve descriptor files. I don't have
these curves, but if you e-mail me the zip files I will take a look at them.

Stephen,
yes to all.
I ended up deleting what I had done and started again. The following is 
what I am doing, see if you can see what the problem may be.

I have dual monitors, so opened unzipped text curves ex Carl, so I can 
see and confirm what I am transferring. The following are the named four 
curves.
._UC-IlfordSmPearl-neutralcolour.txt
._UC-IlfordSmPearl-Sepia.txt
._UC-IlfordSmPearl-Sepia2.txt
._UC-IlfordSmPearl-Warm.txt
Open QTR, open "Curve Creation"  File/open from the Quad 2400 folder ex 
Carl selected the first curve -neutral, entered into "File Name" , "File 
Type Ink Descriptor etc. clicked open.
Curve Creator showed on top bar the named neutral curve/ clicked create 
curve/graphs show for neutral curve etc.
I assume that the creation has now been made, as the named curve shows 
in the curves box in QTR. so click x to exit  curves box.
I then repeat the operation for the next three, and they all show as loaded.
So, why are all the 4 curves showing the same curve when you right click 
them? am I not completing the exercise correctly?
thanks for being patient.
regards,
Peter.

Are all the curves you right click on the same? You might check the file
creation dates. The curves supplied in the install should be dated earlier than
the ones you created. You did make sure the file names of the new curves were
different, didn't you?

Carl & Stephen thanks.
Stephen,
did as you said and they installed. However, I ran a test print with a 
sepia curve, slightly dark, but should be ok with small adjustment. Ran 
a second print with another curve, cool this time. Image printed exactly 
the same as the first, sepia.I right clicked all the curves[4] to check 
and the four curves are all  the same.
Your help would be appreciated, as to where I may have gone wrong.
regards,
Peter.

Open them in the Curve Creator part of the application and press the Create
Curve button.
