Thanks. I have two questions regarding what you have recommended?

1) By adjusting my a*/b* values in the "Ref White" box do you mean 
setting them both to zero? 

2) In order to rebuild a profile, do I just choose the file where 
the targets are saved that were originally used to build the profile 
and then proceed to the next page where you build the profile? I 
assume that's right as I don't know of any other way to call up an 
existing profile to tweak it.

Thanks,

John
