Hi Lynn,

You need to select at least one curve. Curves are the profiles QTR use to
know how to print, so without them you won't be able to do anything useful
the program. Typically people will select a warm and a cool curve with a 50%
blend which will create a neutral tone.

Use 1440dpi unless you know the curve is designed for another resolution. If
you print with 2880dpi using a curve designed for 1440dpi the print will be
very dark.

Which printer, inks and papers do you use?
