Hello folks,

I had to copy the profile in the case of choosing it for a soft proof
from within Photoshop. I was moving many files around so this
recollection may be flawed. If so, I apologize for any contribution to
anyones confusion. There is one thing I would like to ask help on in
regards to color cast to the finished print. My prints all have a
marked yellow cast to the overall image. Can any suggestions be made
for a quick, down, and dirty way of making the correction needed
without having to go throudh a complete reprofile of paper/printer/ink
combination?

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
