All good by me Jerry, I was just relaying what the PS 5 default settings
are, as Paul recommended. But use what works for you! I happen to use Adobe
RGB and Gamma 2.2. Dan Culbertson was of the mind you'll get a better
grayscale to RGB conversion if both color spaces (RGB and Grayscale) are of
the same gamma, and Adobe RGB is gamma 2.2, so by his reasoning your
grayscale space should also be gamma 2.2, as Paul suggests (sRGB also has a
gamma of 2.2 BTW). So if anything you might try changing your grayscale
space to gamma 2.2, but then again, I subscribe to the philosophy "if it
ain't broke, don't fix it".

When you speak of profile do you mean a custom curve set, or are you talking
about a piezo driver profile?
