I find it most annoying that iPhoto baulks at importing many, but not
all, grayscale images, the embedded profile plays a part and for some
images just converting to RGB is not enough. A little research turned
up "Embed sRGB Profile 2", an Automator action which seems to do the
trick. This issue came to light when I was sent a collection of 70 or
so historical photos of Perth and Fremantle from a variety of sources
and had a variety of issues importing them in to iPhoto. Apple
should realise that downloads straight out of a digital camera are not
the only source of photos and make what I am sure must be only a minor
tweak to iPhoto to accommodate scanned and other photos.
Others may have useful comments on this issue.
