I use a Mac at work and a PC at home and have QTR on both. The Mac has Hahnemuhle curves on it but the PC version doesn't. Is it possible to use the Mac curves on the PC? I expect not since thr program works very differently between the two platforms, not to mention the differing OS's. Just wondering. Randy

I'm a little confused here. So I just find them on my Mac hard disk and copy them over? Then I find the *.txt files and simply re-name them as *.qdif then I can use them? Surely it can't be that simple! Thanks Carl, Randy --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, Carl Schofield <scho@m...> wrote: > > You can use the same curves on both Mac and PC.

The *.TXT files need to be converted into QUAD files. You do that by loading them in the curve creator part of QTRgui and pressing the button. You do not have to rename the files. -Stephen www.sbillard.org/Stephen

Yes, I think it is that simple, but check with another PC user to be sure. In fact I don't think you even need to use the .txt (.qidf) files unless you intend to edit or re-linearize. If you just want to print just put the .quad files where they belong on the PC.
