Seems like there ought to be an easier way.  I have to learn more about the
details of what Qimage is doing.  When you have a grayscale image in
Qimage and want to print it -- can you, do you have to pick an RGB 
profile for printing when you are sending it to a file?  
I'm trying to figure out how much color management is going on and if
you have control over it.
