I'm using PrintFIX PLUS 1.0. 

Is it possible to modify an existing profile rsather than starting off 
from scratch?

No, you always have to build a new profile; you apply different "flavoring"
to the profile by modifying the adjustment sliders in the PLUS application
when you build it. (But since this only takes a few seconds, this does what
you're trying to do, just in a different way).

There's a newer version of PLUS, 1.1.1, available for download on the
ColorVision web site.

Thankyou both Davids !

It's a pity the program doesn't allow this. I'll just have to 
remember to note the settings I made each time I make a profile in 
future, so I don't have to start from scratch again each time.

It can only

I think there's something here that my still not be clear:

You do NOT have to remeasure any patches to rebuild a profile.

All you need to do is run PFP again; go to the Read Patches screen;
select your (already measured) set of measurements; step forward to the
Build Profile screen; adjust your sliders a different way; and click Next
to build a different variation of the profile.

This only takes a few seconds, there is little or no mental pain or
anguish involved...:-)

There would be no additional benefit to you if PFP was able to directly
modify a profile, other than the few seconds it takes you to launch PFP,
click through those screens, adjust a slider and build a differently-flavored
profile.
