Thank you Paul.

Qimage does offer a softproof for your respected image to be 
printed.  I open this image in Qimage directly from Photoshop 
Elements after I am done editing.  The tagged profile(sRGB or 
AdobeRGB) remains with the image in Qimage.  

Before softproofing and printing I would open whichever .icc profile 
that I want to use.

Will let you know how it goes.


Much appreciated

Mike

BTW,  thank goodness for the copy and paste when trying to 
spell 'Hahneumlenele'!
