MAC Help

2008-02-24 by Mike Kirwan

Sorry but to some this is going to sound like a dumb question; but I have to
ask as I am completely lost.

I am a PC person, but have inherited an iMAC running OS 10.4.11 - I have
installed the MAC version of QTR and I cannot find it anywhere on the
system. I have an Epson 3800 connected via the Ethernet connection and that
works just fine. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 installed.

I tried installing the download again and it tells me it is installed - but
where - does not show up in applications or add printer

Help!!!

Thanks in advance

Mike

Hi Mike,

I am fairly new to QTR as well but have been a "Mac person" for 20 years.  I know it seems 
against common sense but QTR is not an "application" in the normal use of the word - you 
don't "open" it and "launch" the program.  QTR downloads a folder to your desktop (or 
wherever your default download place resides) that has all of the files, installers, profiles, 
documentation and curves within it.  The place you actually see or "choose" to use QTR is in 
the Printer Dialog Box.  Installing QTR just installs all the "DRIVERS" for the printer along with 
the appropriate profiles and curves that you choose.  Follow the instruction closely on 
installation and then open Photoshop and just go through the Print Preview Dialog Box and 
the Print Dialog Box and get acquainted with how you choose QTR options.  You won't do 
anything at this point - just look at the screens and then read the Tutorials THOROUGHLY!!

If you can't even find the folder that you downloaded that is another matter.

Regards,

Cody

Thanks I think I have figured it out. I was so used to the PC version where
you started QTR as a standalone application - the two versions are quite
different. But I now have selected my 3800 with a QTR profile; looks like it
is working
 
Thanks 
 
Mike
