the failure of InDesign 2 (and by rumor, I also hear, InDesign 3)
to provide for profile-based management of gray scale images
to be a disappointment.

good morning- - -
Is your point here is that there must not be much of a real need
for device independence with gray scale images
if it is not already provided by an application that competes
with InDesign?
This is easy to say, if your workflow only involves color images,
or if you have no need to apply to gray scale
the power that device independence provides
to print (or display) when you want to, via whatever printer (or
display)
with some predictability of results.
It seems like the techniques that are beginning to serve us well
for color control
are fully capable of providing very good results with gray scale.
It doesn't call for the development of new techniques,
we just need to open the color management door to gray scale.
Has anyone out there put together or seen a functioning,
device independent workflow for gray scale "color" management
that they would be willing to share?
