Thanks Paul.

Next question.

My older "final" images (for Paul's var tone method) are in Adobe RGB, and
in the last week I've made a bunch of grayscale scans which either have no
profile attached, or Gray Gamma 2.2. The Defaults Paul spoke of specify
sRGB, and Gray Gamma 2.2.

So, should I use Convert to Profile to bring the Adobe RGB images into the
sRGB space, and use Assign Profile to bring my untagged grayscale files into
Gamma 2.2? I get confused as to when to Convert and when to Assign profiles.

Thanks,
Todd
