This is an old hack that has been simplified in recent updates.
I also have ColorBlind Pro 4.0 Mac, but I was 'advised' that ColorBlind
decided to move to a scanner input model (to then use a RGB device for
reading the targets) with the update to 4.0, rather than continue support
for a DTP41 type input workflow. This is why I was using 3.6.
The upgrade I received for ColorBlind 4.0 Mac did not come with any
documentation on what has changed from version 3.6 -> 4.0.
I have checked www.color.com and they do not have any documentation (that I
can find) on the subject either.
How should this process now be performed ?
Thanks,
Darrin.

Maybe C. David Tobie can define for us how this should be done with the
latest versions ?
Thanks,
