CD Tobie:

Looks like we solved the problem.  I did not print a new set of targets but decided to scan them again.  When there is an error, the system usually flags it and I'll re-scan it.  What I've done in the past if there is an error on a row, I'd click on say A1, and scan the whole row.  I'd do this until I see no more errors.  Apparently that was where I was wrong.

This time, I toggled between 1 and 3 and found several patches with a huge difference in color, kind of like one that should be black came up white.  There were a few others way off too.  I didn't scan the entire row, but clicked on that patch with the mouse, and just scanned that particular patch.  I then saved the profile, went back to photoshop and printed.

Bingo, a perfect photo, at least to me it's perfect.  I had no idea I was getting bad scans, now I know how to check.

BTW, as many computers as I own, this is my favorite, running windoze xp prof.  My only experience on macs was when I had to repair them for customers, didn't really like working with them, but I never argue with people, the customer is always right.  Other systems I use, two with win7 and one linux box.

I'm going to call it a night, later I'll try some different paper and make some more profiles.

Thanks for all your help, you steered me into the right direction -

Jim
