NEW FEATURES

In-App layout and printing

Version 4 adds in-app printing with multi-image layout with a new correction and soft proof profile applied to your positive image. The new image editor allows you to fine tune individual images based on your soft proof profile without going back to Lightroom or Photoshop.

Measurement Chart Reader
Automatically record measurements from a scanned or photographed test chart. The new built-in 86x3 randomized target was optimized for digital camera measurements to compensate for slightly uneven lighting conditions. (for best results, use the built-in calibration step with a standard Kodak or Tiffen Q-13 grayscale target).

Advanced Linearization and Soft-proofing Tools

 
 

Measurement Editing and Smoothing

  • New measurements graphing view that lets you select and drag outlier measurements

  • New weighted moving average smoothing for better curve fitting based on the number of the original measurements

  • Ink channel smoothing in the linearized .quad curves for even smoother tonal transitions

Output Density Rendering Intents

  • Linear Lab L*

    • Uses a standard straight line for evenly-spaced tonal steps

  • Perceptual Rendering w/ BPC

    • Adds a slight contrast curve based on the density range of the original measurements for a better screen-to-print match

  • Spot Color Tone Value Correction

    • Primarily used for linearizing KCMY+ separations for multi-layer gum, carbon, or gravure

  • Manual Curve Controls

    • Gives the ability change the shape of the output curve or add a saved Photoshop .acv curve file (using a grayscale or composite RGB values)

Export Options

  • TirageDN .tdn files new in v4 and compatible with QuadToneProfiler-DN v4

    • Correction curve and soft proof applied to your image in the print-layout and printing

  • Photoshop .acv or .cube presets for correction curves and ability to use non-QTR compatible printers

  • Photoshop RGB .acv curve or .cube LUTs presets for soft-proofing the measured color values or the final linearized color values with

  • QTP Lab measurement .txt files for smoothed and interpolated 256-step data
