Upgrading is actually a smart thing to do if your doing digital images.
Photoshop 6.01 has made leaps and bounds in ICC colour matching. Colorsync
3.03 has some changes for specific G4 models over the older but very good
3.01. MacOs 9.1 works well enough and hasn't introduced too many problems to
Colorsync work flows. There have been a some problems with some monitor
profilers causing an out of whack screen bias, usually towards red.
If you really need to get the system to work well for this catalogue , you
could just grey balance in the Leaf and bring in the images to a calibrated
monitor and judge colours onscreen. You'll need to give us more details to
be able to find possible solutions to the 'red' problem however. If you had
made ICC profiles before, the later updated Leafcapture version shouldn't
change colour transformation or the colorimetric fingerprint of the CCD
array.
