Thanks all for the helpful answers. I just spent a productive hour testing some of the suggestions. Blue Eye Pro has an option to make a version 2 profile, and I found in the Advanced section that it was already set to "Matrix-Profile." (The other option was "LUT-Profile." Can anyone tell me what the difference is?) As predicted this created a profile that could be used on 10.6.8, 10.5.8, 10.4.11 and 9.22. Is there anything I am losing by using a v2 instead of a v4 profile? Any concerns with v2 and my wide gamut monitor? BTW, all Macs are connected to the monitor with DVI through a DVI KVM. Although no one has commented on it so far, doesn't the fact that my monitor has its own hardware LUT also help ensure that four Macs can share the same profile? Wouldn't the monitor harware LUT also make this setup work with analog/VGA connections, since the video card shouldn't be involved? jt On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 3:13 AM, Matthew Ward < matthew@matthewwardphotography.com> wrote:

***[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?
There are essentially 2 sorts of profile, V2 (version 2) and V4 (version 4). If you are creating v4 profiles with your software they are not backwardly compatible. If you create a v2 profile OS9 should see it. You may or may not be able to specify which type of profile to create in your software. I am not aware of any way to convert a v4 profile into a v2 using software.
