Need more information, some questions:

1) Is the image a scanned neg or a converted color digicam file?  If a
scanned neg, was it scanned as RGB or grayscale?

2) What image profile is set as the default in Color Settings (IOW,
what is the default profile that an image gets when it's converted to
grayscale)?

3) Have you Assigned or Converted the image to a different profile
than the default one?

4) What paper are you using?


Regards,
Clayton
