QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm very happy that QTR now support JPEGs. For windows users, that gives finally the possibility to "print" directly from programs like Lightroom using the QTR Monitor Folder option.

However, with my first experiments I ran directly into the issue that JPEGs (at least mine exported from Lightroom) do not scale properly. The preview in QTR Gui is fine but the actual print is much (~factor 3)larger. 

Any clues?

Hi Joost,

I've looked into it.  Apparently most color jpgs use a YCbCr color model.
The grayscale jpgs work ok but I've got to figure out how best to handle
this.

Always something new.

Thanks for quick response, Roy. I checked, I have installed the QTR gray lab icc-profile but it doesn't even so show up in Lightroom (the QTR rgb lab profile does). So my understanding is that Lightroom can create color jpeg only.

I hope you can fix the issue.
