I could never get PS to run in Classic under Mac OS X. None of the menus

The disappearing menus an photoshop under classic has a workaround:
launch photoshop and don't touch anything until it is finished
launching. If you go click somewhere else while photoshop launches, it
won't have any menus.
Other than that, I find that photoshop works fine under OSX.
About colorsync, the important thing to remember is that Classic does
not know about, much less use, any of the colorsync bits in OSX.
Whatever monitor profile you have set in the OS9 Monitors control panel
is what Photoshop thinks is the profile in effect. The profile you set
in OSX is completely independent. Trouble is that only one video card
LUT can be in effect at a time and there is no real way to tell which
one is in effect...at least as of OSX 10.1.1, the OS9 Monitors control
panel in classic does work and will change the LUT.
Of course, the sane way of dealing with this is to make sure both the
OS9 and OSX monitor settings use the same profile. The respective
control panels look in different places so you have to
copy/alias/symlink for it to work.
I have not done much printing so I'm not certain if there are gotchas
there....
