Hi Scott

If I take a grayscale image and print to file with QI along with a resize and sharpening the resulting image is srgb.  I can see it in QI when I put that image back in the queue or I can open the image in Photoshop and see it there too.  Perhaps QI will print a grayscale image when resize or sharpening isn't applied I'm not sure but if it's a "print to file" file it's rgb.  QI doesn't tell you it's converting but grayscale in rgb out.  I believe QI is why Roy came out with those rgb-matte and rgb-photo icc files a while back.

  "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,
