Still confused:
I am naming the profile from within the Adobe Gamma
"save profile as" window. Once the profile is named -
I check the embedded profile name and it is not the name.
That is why I thought I should act - not before.
Thanks again,
Michael

The confusion here is causd by the externally renamed profile retaining the

similar uses. So the second version of the profile is in fact being used,

just not properly discribed due to the internal/external name mismatch. The
