iccToolbox Pro makes Rich Gray profiles. ICC colour profiles that are
converted to gray profiles by taking out the colour reference figures.
That's what I did understand of that process. I got an example from a
Colorsync list subscriber. Haven't checked it yet though. Probably CMYK
printer profiles though, so not for Qimage. Mac software.
