Unless that first (black) value, and that last (white) value load into PRO
you can't build a valid profile. Try opening the text file in Excel and
deleting (Command K) all columns before the LAB values, and all rows above or
below the Lab values. Then you should have exactly 729 lines with nothing but
three values (L, a, b) each, which will eliminate any question of parsing
issues. Save this text file, open it in PRO, and see what black and white
values you get.
