Update of QuadToneRIP version 2.7.3 for Mac OSX Mavericks

Update of QuadToneRIP version 2.7.3 for Mac OSX Mavericks

2014-01-14 by <roy@...>

There's a new version of QTR for the Mac. The main addition is better

support of Mavericks but it is also useful back to Snow Leopard.
There are several minor fixes for paper/image size issues.

Mostly I'd say, yes - upgrade.
It's not crucial but some of the paper size issues are alleviated.
When you upgrade OS you'll have to remember.

Most of it is the same. I only update version numbers of things that needed changing.

Roy,

I have proven to be a bit slow at times even with a background in IT. What components of the QTR was updated?

I ask because after installing, QTR CurveView is still showing 2.7.2 as is Linearize-Data.

Update of QuadToneRIP version 2.7.4 for Mac OSX Mavericks

2014-03-24 by <roy@...>

Looks like another release of QTR is needed for OSX.
There have been print inconsistencies for various OSX versions.
This release should assure consistent prints from 10.6 Snow Leopard
to 10.9 Mavericks. It is especially beneficial for users of Print-Tool to
get accurate No Color Management & Application Management. Also if you are
creating curves or icc profiles you should upgrade to this.

If I simply install the new QTR dmg, will all the curves that I have
added still be intact? Or will I have to re-add them?

They will be there.
(I'd be saving them somewhere safe too!)

Roy,

There may be a problem. I could not get this release to install, even after
a cold restart, with nothing else running. Just to be sure, I tried the
previous version and it installed swiftly and without difficulty.

The 2.7.4 installer was very sluggish and always reported that it had failed
to install. I tried a half dozen times.

I am running OS X, 10.7.5 on an older iMac (2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 6GB.)

GRAY_CURVE vs K_CURVE and other Individual ink curves

2014-03-26 by Alan Vlach

I've been running some tests on regulating the inks for digital negatives. I am trying to develop a method for easily determining the minimum ink to print paper white. I am using two gray parts: K and LK with Y following K and C following LK. I would like to specify curves that independently affect the K values and the LK values. I started with this profile:

and I get this quad file:


If I use a GRAY_CURVE= that sets the values at "0;0 100;50", I get this quad file:


Notice that the ink limits only change for K and Y, and quite significantly given that I only specified a 50% reduction. I would like to be able to test changing both sets of ink limits proportionately - K and Y as well as LK and C.


If I substitute CURVE_K="0;0 100;50" and CURVE_LK="0;0 100;50" for the GRAY_CURVE, I get the same Quad file as the Test-nocurve:


There is no change in the ink limits, no change whatsoever. Printing results for a stepwedge are the same as if I hadn't specified either of the curve values.
Any ideas on why CURVE_K and CURVE_LK don't do anything?

I've also tried using the linearize command, but haven't had any success there. I get errors if I include the above specification. I can't find any detailed info about the linearize command.

Thanks

Alan
