QTR print tone simulation on PS

QTR print tone simulation on PS

2017-06-05 by ognita@...

Hi guys,

Since the toning of QTR is in QTR itself, is there a way that to simulate the tone in RGB via photoshop?

I was thinking of printing a stepwedge with the tone and then somehow placing it as a curve in PS. Not sure how to do this.


Do you guys have a better way?


Thanks!

I haven't done this in a while so you'll need to check it.
But you should be able to print a step wedge with the curve settings you want (No Color Management),
then create an RGB ICC profile using QTR-Create-ICC-RGB. Then you can soft proof with that.
I think you can convert-to-profile from source to the RGB profile and then to AdobeRGB for a permanent color.

It worked!Convert to profile then, I just pasted it on another doc on RGB (just converting it again, takes away the tone)
Thanks Roy! :)
