It should be possible to see if the profiles are actually the same
file with different names by using a file compare routine.  Any chance
of getting a copy of the profile from Roy?  I wonder why they weren't
released.  I find the semi-gloss profiles a bit warm, and am yet to
see if I can cool them down enough.  

The Permajet thing is remarkable.  I tried your suggestion to use this
profile for colour in Ilford smooth pearl, and agree that it removes
almost all the green cast.  But what is your story this time about how
you stumbled across its suitability for B&W?  Are you trying all the
new PC profiles for QTR with all the paper combinations, or was it
serendipity again?

I will try the Permajet profile.  What mixture of cool and warm
settings are you using?


Thanks.
