Re: What is GCR?

Olivier, nothing personal, but I think something got lost in the translation.  I didn't 
understand a word in your post after "Grey Component Replacement".

Anyone else?

Thank!

Josh

P.S.  Olivier, I do respect you ability to communicate in multiple languages - and at a 
technical level too.  Kudos.  I finally realized why you write RVB - it's not a typo, but 
French - rouge vert bleu!  I'm a little slow, but I eventually catch on.  Thanks anyway.
