Forgive me if this is an annoying newbie question, but are there icc profiles that can be use for proofing in LR before going to QTR to print? Or is it assumed that if I'm using QTR I should know what I'm doing and make my own?

Thanks, I saw those so maybe I'll try one. I guess because of the ability to blend curves, a profile has to be made based on your paper and curve choices. I must admit I forgot about the infinite choices based on blending curves. Larry

OK, I tried installing the Gray_Matte_Paper.icc profile as I usually do with profiles (Right click on profile, choose "install profile". I can't find this profile in my list of profiles. And yes, I did click on "other" to see the list of all installed profiles. Larry -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 2/8/16, Larry pianoquartet@...

I guess because of the ability to blend curves,
a profile has to be made based on your paper and curve
choices. I must admit I forgot about the infinite choices

ICC that you made for your own paper and ink.
Your results may vary, but I
don't see a lot of value to soft proofing my black and
white work. I've had better results focusing on the
output end, in other words, learning how the image needs to
look on my calibrated screen to get what I need out of the
printer.
