QTR, Qimage and QTR-Create-ICC-RGB-bpc
2009-12-21 by brian_downunda
I hesitate to raise this again, because I know of the past problems with Qimage using profiles generated by the "Create-ICC" utilities, but I've got a new problem. In using Qimage to create a TIFF for QTR to print (XP SP3), I'm finding that Qimage isn't converting the image properly to the specified profile. These are profiles I created with Piezo K6 Special Edition inks, and the Qimage output file shows the toning effect of the SE inks, but not the change in tonality that you would expect from converting to a profile made with the "Create-ICC-BPC" utility. There's supposed to be a darkening of the histogram for the shadows (which is what you see if you do the conversion in PS) but the histogram is close to exactly the same before as after. The output file is almost like a soft-proof. I suspect that this problem started happening after I upgraded to Qimage 2010 recently. Any Qimage 2010 users here with the same issue? (Note that Qimage still has problems with QTR "RGB" profiles, and so you have to give it the "BPC" profiles.) On a related point, is there any reason that QTR-Create-ICC-RGB-bpc version 2.6.x.x wasn't included in the QTR 2.6.2 package? I see that someone else asked this question a while back, but I couldn't see a reply. B.
