Digital BW, The Print

"When I take a grayscale and run it through Qimage it's changed to 
rgb. I
just ran a grayscale through Qimage and applied some sharpening. Sure 
enough it
came out rgb."

That's interesting. Where, in QI, are you seeing that the grayscale 
file is being converted to RGB?

Thanks,

Scott

to "print to file" in Qimage so I can use it's resize and sharpening 
features and then print through QTR.  When I take a grayscale and run 
it through Qimage it's changed to rgb.  I just ran a grayscale 
through Qimage and applied some sharpening.  Sure enough it came out 
rgb.
