Thanks Richard for you help and suggestions. I finally found out why I was suddenly having problems with my edited versions on the QTR ink Pattern Page. In my version of Photoshop ver 2015.5.1 a recent update to Bridge apparently altered some Preferences Settings which prevented opening an image without applying a profile behind the scenes. Even though I've checked in Photoshop under *** Color Settings / Color Management Policies / Missing Profiles ... "Ask When Opening" this question was not asked, but instead a profile was applied. Even though I have Bridge and Photoshop "Synchronized" to use the same Color Settings. The Fix was found in Bridge under "Edit / Camera Raw Preferences / JPEG & TIFF Handling" The correct setting should be "Automatically Open with Settings". With that selected a Tiff or Jpeg file will open in Photoshop and follow my settings and request how to handle a Mismatched / Missing / or Untagged File (which the QTR Ink Pattern is). The odd thing is I'm not opening my QTR ink Pattern Page in Camera Raw, instead I'm holding the shift key down and double clicking the image icon to open the file. Several calls to Adobe provided no help, it appears that sadly that I may know more than some of their help desk people when it comes to Color Management. On another note, I've been using the Excel Spread sheets you've created to Linearize QTR curves...Great Job! Now I get perfectly linearized curves in a fraction of the time...and I skip the "Linearization tab" in the QTR Curve creator. I can create a new QTR Profile and use less than two sheet of paper.
