This is curious!

I also use Qimage, it’s a great product – but now I only use it for colour prints and use QTR for b&w. Why bother going via Qimage for b&w, especially if the image has already been processed in Photoshop? The only reason I can think of is to allow multiple photos to be laid out first.

What am I missing?

Cheers,

Bernie

Diane,
That's how I print, and I believe most others do, also. When I print
to file in Qimage, I set the printer ICC to QTR-RGB Gray Matte and
leave Smart Sharpening at the default. Then I open the tiff with QTR.
Works great. Some folks just set QTR to monitor a folder and let it
print automatically when the tiff is saved in Qimage. The
collaboration between Roy, Stephen, and Mike was wonderful and made
for a simple workflow.

I was thrilled when QTR was first released for Windows. Then when
Stephen created QTRGui, it was so much better. And now, with Mike's
input, and further improvements in QTR and the GUI, it's a real
pleasure to work with. Metemerism-free prints and I can easily change
the look from selenium-toned to warm and everything in between. What
fun!!

it this morning. That brought up the question in my mind--just how
are others printing from Qimage using QTR? Are you printing to file,
then using that saved tiff to bring into the QTR GUI?
