Re: QTR Gray Profiles and Qimage -- Solved -- RGB Version

2005-01-31 by Chris Hargens

I cannot convert/assign to the RGB Lab space. I'm getting an error 
message telling me that the icc profile is invalid. I'm running PS 6, 
but I don't think that should make a difference. I also experienced 
the same problem when I tried to change my working space to RGB Lab 
space.
