Hey Andrew,
Make a monitor profile in ProfileMaker. Is if that profile sticks (it has
been for me) in OS X then it must be the Barco profile. Look at the two and
compare the tags in ColorThink. My guess is the Barco profiles doesn't use
the VCGT tag instead relying on their software to load LUTs. Barco software
doesn't run under OS X , right? That may be why the Barco profile ain't
sticking. Check it out in ColorThink.
