When you work with a profile, you're creating a time-saving file that
lets you use the same settings over and over again. Not only does Flash
make the creation of a profile easy; it will let you create a duplicate of
the file. In truth, a duplicate file would not serve much of a purpose:
Why would you want an exact copy of something that already exists?
Actually, creating a duplicate can be a very smart thing to do. For
example, say you create a profile for a specific job that involved sev-
eral changes to the default settings, and you name it: Output_A. Then,
two weeks later you need another profile that's almost exactly the
same as Output_A, with one or two minor changes. Rather than start
from scratch, you create a duplicate of Output_A, make the minor
changes, and Export it using the name: Output_B. It's fast and easy,
and it means you're working smart.
