Anyone have a suggestion as to how to accomplish this in 6.0?
If I remember rightly, LC5.0 goes back some two and a half years. It
still uses CIELab D65, doesn't support embedding of destination
profiles, and doesn't pick up the monitor profile from the ColorSync
and Monitors control panels.
The way to get what you want is to go to v6 on both the capture and
retouching side, that is, use Linocolor 6.0.8 (for OS9) on the
capture side and Photoshop 6 on the retouching side.
And now for the fun part, your instance of the famous Upton Paradox
-:). The Upton Paradox is defined as a behaviour that per definition
and per principle is unworkable, and yet seems to work on a given
system at a given time. It is in other words a phenomenon restricted
to rarified space / time co-ordinates.
The Pshop 5.5 RGB Settings define the editing and archival space of
your pixels. It doesn't define your monitor profile. So saving the
settings to disk saves out an ICC profile for an idealized monitor
space and not anybody's physical monitor. Then loading that ICC
profile into the Linocolor5.0 monitor preferences would uncork the
Linocolor 5.0 display. So in principle your workflow doesn't work,
but I'm stumped for an answer as to why it seems to do so -:).
Merry XMas and a jolly New Year, everyone!
