Re: [Digital BW] Qimage

2004-03-27 by grdglass

I am using Qimage only for its upsizing routine.  I "print to file"  
and then print via ImagePrint.  I do all edits in Photoshop.

I find when Qimage prints to file, and I open the image for printing, 
it has been changed to 8-bit RGB mode, and it is darker.  The file I 
get after Qimage is not the same file I sent to Qimage.

I am more concerned about keeping the file in a gray space than the 
bit change.
