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

2005-02-01 by Chris Hargens

Yes, I have both. I've found within Qimage that I am able to convert 
Gray Lab to QTR RGB and then convert to RGB Matte paper. However, the 
image still gets dark. I haven't experimented with the settings much 
yet. Also, even when I embed the QTR RGB into the file through a 
Qimage conversion, PS says that the profile is invalid.
