QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi,

Is there a way to preview what QTR will produce by some view in 
photoshop or at least some close approximation? It seems like there 
might be a way to bring the curves of QTR into PS since there is a way 
to go the other way.

thanks,
Dave

You can get a preview, or soft-proof, by using the QTR-Create ICC
utility in the Eye-One subfolder that's inside the QTR folder.  This
requires you to have some sort of measuring device to measure the
density values of one of the test-images that are also inside the
Eye-One folder.  Hopefully there is a tutorial available on how to do
this.

dave, 

are you using QuadTone RIP for windows or mac?

before you can produce an ICC profile, you need a device like Eye-One or PrintFix Pro. i 
think the recent software update to PrintFix Pro has an option that outputs a file for 
QuadTone RIP, but i don't know how this works. i recall a mentioning about PrintFix Pro 
and QuadTone RIP at www.northlight-images.co.uk, but i can't seem to locate the article's 
URL. go there and see if you can find it yourself.

meanwhile, if you're using QTR-GUI on windows, then *i think* there is no application 
script available as on the mac side.

if you're using QTR on mac, then there is an application script named QTR-Create-ICC in 
this folder path ...CurveDesign/Eye-One. QTR-Creat-ICC generates the ICC profile based 
on the data compiled using Eye-One. as mentioned above, you need Eye-One before you 
can make use of anything inside ...CurveDesign/Eye-One. you can get some more details 
in Eye-One-ReadMe.pdf located in ...CurveDesign/Eye-One folder.

i hope this was helpful.
