QTR-Quadtone RIP

I've just purchased the last release of the software for mac os x
but once installed, i'm not able to create curves on my own
I mean i cannot find something similar to the graphic examples that shows how it works in 
windows os :-!
Except for the interface before printing where I can choose preinstalled curves, I'd like to 
create and edit them on my own.

Hope you can help me

thx a lot

Unfortunately, there is not graphical utility for the Mac.

There are instructions in the install for creating curves for the Mac  
using text files.

There are a number of helpful tutorials in the files section of the  
Yahoo Group as well.

I didn't know, I'm new to this group!
thx a lot

Well then, welcome to the group and your wonderful new adventure.

Depending on what you are trying to do, and (of course) what hardware  
you are using, there a variety of ways to get from point A to point B.
The instructions for QTR can be quite confusing and overwhelming to a  
newcomer. Don't worry, there is definitely a learning curve, but  
there are plenty of people here willing to help out.

The best way to get help from this group is to write up a summary of  
what you are working with and your goals. Once people know that you  
will find no end of helpful voices.

So start here:

You are on a Mac.
	What hardware?
	Which operating system version?

Printer
	Brand and model

Connection
	How are you interfacing to your printer?
		USB
		Ethernet
			What protocol
				Appletalk
				TCP/IP
				Bonjour
		Firewire

What paper or papers are you printing on?
	Are there existing profiles that come with QTR or are on the files  
section of the group for the ink/printer/paper combination you are  
using?

If you are looking to make your own curves, what instruments do you  
have or have access to?
	Densitometer
	Spectrophotometer

What inks are you using?

What is your desired result?
	One printer for color and B&W
	Smoothest possible B&W output
	Toned B&W
	Print Permanence
	Variable tone control

What have you tried before?


Looking forward to helping out and saving you from lots of  
unnecessary work and frustration.

James
