Like the previous poster above, I’ve been using Eric Chan’s custom ABW profiles, but would like to experiment with QTR. Since I’m a Windows user, I’m finding there’s not a lot available regarding workflows and/or tutorials to learn the very basics. I am wonder if you could provide some additional info.
Thank you in advanced.

do the trick you did, but use sRGB instead of ProPhoto.
Things keep changing with each OS update and PS version, sRGB just worked for me when AdobeRGB didn’t after an OS change.

1.8 is a very wide aperture with an extremely narrow depth of field when you are very close to your subject. To get more of your subject in focus, either use a narrower aperture, like 5.6 or stand further away from your subject until you get the balance you want.

I recently started using an Epson 3880 and was wanting to build profiles for Epson Luster… really more as an exercise to familiarize myself with the process. I’m trying to follow the Mac oriented process outlined in the tutorial, but am running into a stumbling block printing the inkseparation8.tif file.

With 10.6.5 & CS 5, it’s simply not possible to print with no color management. I’ve tried a work around suggested on the Luminous Landscape: assigning a color space and printing with the exact same color space (I used ProPhoto RGB), and I’ve also tried a recently released Adobe utility that is supposed to bypass the API calls that seem to make printing with no color management impossible.

In both cases the resulting printed sheet looks nothing at all like what is printed in the tutorial. When printing via CS 5, the background is white, but most of the ink positions print nothing, and those that do (the first 2) show significant pooling of ink (to the point that it runs down the page). When printing with the Adobe utility, the results are very different – the background is magenta and most ink positions print something – but not the color expected and (again) with significant pooling.

Not sure what I’m missing here… any suggestions on how to print the inkseparation8.tif file correctly under 10.6.5?

I posted a few more details on the QTR user group as well.

thanks!
