Is anyone else using ChartThrob and a flatbed scanner to Linearize the ink curve? http://www.botzilla.com/blog/archives/000544.html Terry

I thought I'd re-post and see if any other users. Thanks, Terry --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "Terry" <TerryGls@...> wrote:

I did use a print on a standard multifunctional Konica Minolta and scanned it on the same machine (simple standard A4 copypaper) and the print I made afterwards had better tonality. I tried the same at home on a good R1800 and the result is not so good. Telefoon: +31 6 1280 6169 / +31 174 221 963 E-mail: <mailto:watervin@...> watervin@...

Terry, I have not used ChartThrob on digital negatives or prints as yet. I have loaded it into CS4 and it certainly appears to accomplish what it has set out to do. I have created the greyscale chart and then distorted with various curves adjustment layers and then I have run the script and it creates a new curve that does a great job of linearizing the chart. The next set is to try it on my printer. It is my intention to use it to linearize greyscale prints not negatives. Paul

The R1800 does not have ABW mode like the 2400, 3800, etc. I assume you printed out the 101 Step ChartThrob on the R1800...were you using the Epson Print Drivers or Quadtone Rip (QTR)? Terry --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "StudioPBG@..." <studiopbg@...> wrote:

I believe it wants an RGB file to analyze and not greyscale...assume you've checked that? --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "mccarvill" <mccarvill@...> wrote:

Looks like XP was the issue. I got it to work on my Vista laptop and the same CS2. I'm using a 1400, UT-14, and Paul's curves on Premier Imaging matte paper and, so far, I'm impressed with ChartThrob's results. Mark --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "mccarvill" <mccarvill@...> wrote:
