Did it. There's something else going on here. Nothing I do is touching the
blacks! But it IS profile based, since uncalibrated output has the opposite
cast in the blacks.
I've adjusted the magenta curve ludicously in both Doctor Pro and ColorWise,
and it makes the magenta disappear all right, but only in the magenta ramp,
and not in the black ramp. And, as I wrote, I used Selective Color already
to change the blacks with Doctor Pro, with NO effect whatsoever.
Is this weird or am I stupid, or both?
