I use a G3
with OS 8.6 and Photoshop 5 (yes I know I am a dinosaur).
My
problem is that Photoshop does not recognize that profile when I go
into the RGB/Setup.
1. Photoshop 5 will only use well behaved matrix-based profiles in RGB
Setup, and the LightJet will have a table-based profile.
2. You don't want to use this profile as a working space anyway. Equal
amounts of red, green and blue wouldn't make gray, and the relationship
between values in this space won't be intuitive.
The thing to do is pick a good editing space, whether using Photoshop 5
or some other version, such as Adobe RGB (1998) and edit your images in
that space. Prior to sending the image off for output, use Profile to
Profile in Photoshop 5 with Adobe RGB (1998) as source and the LightJet
profile as destination; or use Convert to Profile in Photoshop 6/7
using the Lightjet profile as destination. Once you do this, the
numbers are converted so that the file is ready for output on the
Lightjet.
