My sincere thanks to George Lottermoser for guiding me successfully through 
this jungle.

Every time I think I understand digital color and its processing, something 
happens to prove to me that I don't. But at least for now, there are no 
digital color problems in my world that I don't understand. (George: I got 
the page proofs back from the lithographer today, and the colors are right. 
Victory.)
