Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

Thanks. I renamed the rgb files targeted at Qimage to ".icm" extension and
the profiles show up on PWP's Transformation->Color->Change Color Profile
dialog.

Converting an image to RGB Lab has a slightly bluish cast, but looks good.

But converting to RGB Matte Paper makes for an interesting looking image
with quite goldish tones, and the darkest tones "cut off" to a beige-ish 
tone.

Is this normal, or am I likely doing something wrong?

Scott
