Back to grade school…
I right-clicked on my image, so I now have a virtual image, and a (M)aster image.
Naturally, in Finder I only see the “real” one, not the virtual version.
So now I would like to copy your "22-09-0003.tif.dop file into my folder, so it will open with the changes you listed below.
If I simply copy your file into my folder, it will replace my file. I am speculating that your .dop file will contain details for both my original settings, and for you newer settings.
The safest way for me to test this is to add “.old” to my .dop filename, and then copy your .dop to my folder.
(Between what you wrote, and this link:

…I think this all makes sense.)
I’m going to do more reading before I try this.
What I did long ago was to replace my .dop file with someone else’s .dop file, to understand what they did. With virtual copies, this sounds much better. …if I’m right about how this works.
Hours later. I downloaded your .dop file into my downloads folder, then copied it into my “scans” folder where my .dop was located. Finder asked me what to do with this “duplicate file” and I selected replace mine. I know my current file is the one I downloaded, when I right-clicked on it to get “get info”.
However, my tone curve does not change regardless of which version I select…
I expected to see your new tone curve; What am I missing?
I copied this from your earlier post…
