After I got Michael Eddington's neat answer, I became curious about
these greyscale profiles. Apparently you can make a greyscale profile
out of a CMYK one by extracting the black information. But what
happens
if one works with a greyscale image the same way as with a colour one?
Is there a problem in using the RGB profiles which are common for
color
photo work (sRGB, Adobe, ProPhoto)? I ask this because I received
grayscale Tiffs tagged with the AdobeRGB1998 profile.
I don't think you can tag a Grayscale image with an RGB profile.
Photoshop, at least, won't allow it. Were these desaturated RGB files?
Lastly, is there
some kind of widely used greyscale profile to convert to? I got two
profiles called GREY-EW18 and GREY-EW22. 18 and 22 look like the gamma
(1.8 and 2.2), but do these two profile correspond to some kind of
standard (EW?)
Thank you,

After playing with grayscale profiles for a bit, I decided I really
prefer the results from the Channel Mixer.
