FM 8.0 Image color glitch

[J.H. Crawford]

Hi,

I'm having the same kind problem. I convert from RGB to CMYK
in Photoshop. The image looks ok converted.

I install it in FrameMaker 5.5.6 (or 5.5.3) and it looks
completely awful--very dark, very cyan, completely unusable.
I've played with all the switches, looked on the net, and
I can't find much except an Adobe document that says to
try changing the value of 

GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMY 

in 

maker.ini

This has no effect.

The color definitions seem to be normal process colors.
The image prints just like it looks--awful. Printed from
Photoshop it's ok.

Help!

Thanks,

Joel
