Digital BW, The Print

Richard

Remember this:

ASSIGN keeps the numbers and changes the colour
CONVERT changes the numbers and keeps the colour

Another way of thinking about it is the profile is a dictionary that gives
meaning in one language for the set of characters in a word.  Pull out a
different dictionary and those same characters have a different meaning in
that different language.  If you want to express the same meaning in another
language you have to convert the characters into another word which has the
same/right meaning in the new language.

Converting between colour profiles keeps the look of the image the same and
is generally what you'd use the most.  Assigning a new profile would change
the look of your image.
