How to find combination of Q-tone curves for warm-toned prints?

2011-01-16 by jack.zinn

Hi, First time here, and I wondered if anyone might be able to suggest a method for arriving at a good combination of blended curves for making warm-toned prints? I'd purchased this quite a while ago, found a combination I was pleased with, but never wrote it down. After a big problem I'd had recently due to Nikon's decision to drop support for the Mac's OS and Nikon Scan at a certain point, I desperately fumbled around with too many things, and mistakenly uninstalled the RIP.

Well, I'm back with it again, and I've recently made some prints. They don't look too far off, but I wondered if there might be a shortcut to multiple trial and error experiments until I happen upon something I really like? Does anyone have a favorite combination they might suggest? Also, do you generally find 3 curves best, or two? 

Not sure if you need this, but I'm printing from scanned film, on an Epson 2200. Thanks.  Jack
