Agree but all I wanted to do was trim the excessive green/grey border 
around the target so that it would fit on a single sheet of A4. The 
coloured patches would remain unaltered. The PC target files appear 
to be different to the MAC version. My R2400 MAC target is Testchart 
G1BW000011A. The PC files all end 'B' and look different.
