Hi all,
[Long story version that can be skipped]
I'm a photographer who runs a bunch of old film scanners (with accompanying
Macs), but I do all my real work on a calibrated wide-gamut LED Lacie 724
display and Mac Pro running 10.6.7. With Vuescan I can run most of my
scanners under Leopard on a G4 and a G5. I have a KVM that lets me share the
display between the Mac Pro and my G5 and G4, and so when I update my
calibration I can just copy the new profile from the Mac Pro to the G5 and
G4.
The problem is that I'm bringing a Howtek 4500 drum scanner into my workflow
and apparently the best software may be the Trident 4 package that only runs
under MacOS 9. Although I think color management under OS9 is pretty decent
it won't recognize my monitor profile that comes from 10.6.7, so...
***[To cut to the chase, here's the question]***
Can I-- and how do I-- convert a monitor profile created by Lacie's Blue Eye
Pro software (v1.0.16) under 10.6.8 to a profile format that OS9 will
recognize?
A more broadly related question, what are the relevant Colorsync and ICC
profile versions associated with different OS releases? I just checked the
wikipedia colorsync page and was disappointed. For instance I've also found
that Tiger doesn't recognized my monitor profile. It couldn't possibly be
using the same Colorsync profile version as OS 9.2.2-- or is it? It would be
interesting to see a table for Mac, Windows, and any other relevant color
manged operating systems.
