Thanks Tony and Terry...simple BUT it looked to me at first that I was going to lose all my edits as I did not see an entry for "Predefined Filter".  Getting out my magnifier I noticed the Sel. color was in bold and realized I had not used that choice in the Image Editor.....whoa, wait a minute.  B&W vs. color change....ah ha!  Click, delete selection, GONE.
This tells me that if one made minute color corrections in the original editing and later decided to see how the image looked in B&W, activated the predefined filter B&W, thought that was interesting but not worth pursuing, and deleted Sel. Color, both the color correction originally made in the editor and the predefined filter are gone.  It clearly means one would have to go back into the editor and redo the Sel. color. 
Work flow: write down any changes in Sel. Color before playing with the predefined filters...or just don't use them at all.

I'm at my wit's end...a short trip.
I applied the B&W predefined filter. Impressive.  Then I tried to remove it...Huh? Dang if I can determine how that is done.  Guidance, please.

Download Q-U...a breeze.  What a great program.
However, every time I open Q-U I get the "nag" window: Unable to establish connection with the registration verification server.

No change for the past two days.
Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks in advance.

An oversight.  I forgot to mention that in my throes of woe yesterday, Q-U froze up and the only way out was to force it to close with the TaskMgr.  Could well be that was a contributing factor.  So, I hereby blame everything on Mike Chaney!!

Fred et al

To begin with, when I installed the trial version of Q-U, I did not specify a location different from what the installation had chosen.  The only thing I have done recently is to delete a bunch of junk from my system including uninstalling miscellaneous software I was perusing. At no time did I consciously delete files from the Qimage folder that were in the ddisoftware folder....of course I may for a moment or two been unconscious...but whose counting.
More strangeness:  I found the INSTALL txt file under Q-U and it disclosed that the following items should be in the Qimage folder; namely,
                     
\ddisoftware\Qimage\pRGB.icm
\ddisoftware\Qimage\Adobe.icm
\ddisoftware\Qimage\Apple.icm
\ddisoftware\Qimage\bruce.icm
\ddisoftware\Qimage\cie.icm
\ddisoftware\Qimage\Cmatch.icm
\ddisoftware\Qimage\errbmp.bmp
\ddisoftware\Qimage\q.bmp
\ddisoftware\Qimage\ntsc.icm
\ddisoftware\Qimage\pc-mntr.icm
\ddisoftware\Qimage\sRGB.icm
\ddisoftware\Qimage\wide.icm 

Ready for this?  NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM WERE THERE!!  Further, I did a search of my system for them and it came back NADA........

Per Fred's suggestion I tried the Migrate routine and nothing...not surprising if you factor in the fact they are not in the system.  Nonetheless, I am purchasing Q-U today and will first, of course, uninstall the trial version. I will also probably run a reg cleaner.  Anyone with additional suggestions so my download will be free of any artifacts? Thanks again.

Thanks Fred for the response.
First off, I discovered late this afternoon that I may not be a klutz but I definitely am a Doofuss!!
NO profile was missing as there wasn't one to start with! My camera is a Nikon D60 and thus currently no camera profile.  I also discovered that just as your second snap showed down below the thumbnails I see "ICC:adobe.icm".  So I'm good...yes?

However, after all my screwing around two error messages are now showing up:
1- "Cannot open file '...ddisoftware\Qimage\q.bmp' whenever I happen to trigger a thumbnail/cache rebuild.
2-"Cound not find printer interchange color space. 'C:\...ddisoftware\Qimage\pRGB.icm' when I tried to do some test prints by comparing Q controls color vs. printer controls...

Please know that I find this forum amazing and have read so much my brain has imploded! Q-U is an amazing piece of software.

I'm new to Qimage, particularly Q-U.  Yesterday I shot in raw for the first time, transferred to a folder and opened in Q-U. Played with the raw refine and then the image editor.  Floundered a bit but Mike's written examples coupled with a few tutorials got me mostly on the right track.  Today I opened Q-U and it hit with an error message that the file color profiles were missing and so it opened using sRGB.  I then checked the file info for each image I retained from yesterday's shoot and low and behold, not one of them had an imbedded profile....though they all did yesterday!!
I have no idea what happened...could it be I did something playing with the program??  I'm no programmer but I'm not a total klutz either, at least I like to think I'm not!
Any thoughts where I could have gone wrong???
