#MOUNTAIN LION INSTALL ICC PROFILE MAC OS#

Unless someone else manages to finagle the source code out of Kodak for these scanners and finishes porting the rest of the code to native Intel, it's going to be forever stuck at Snow Leopard as the newest version of the Mac OS you can run it on. They're as close to the output of a true PMT (photomultiplier tubes) drum scanner you can get in a CCD scanner. There's also no other flat bed scanner that even comes close to the quality of these devices. There is no third party software to drive these scanners. This is very proprietary software and hardware, which were designed together. Kodak closed down the scanner division, sold off all of the hardware in the Israel plant and bulldozed the building. The last release was for Snow Leopard where a few items had to be Intel native for it to work, but the bulk of the interface is still PPC code only.

#MOUNTAIN LION INSTALL ICC PROFILE UPDATE#

The software engineers always did as little as possible to update the software for OS X.

First designed and made by Scitex (an Israeli company), later owned by Creo, and then Kodak. Hopefully, I won't need Monaco Profiler anymore when we see version 2 of i1 Profiler. They recognize that, and users on our end also realize i1 Profiler is a 1.0 product and needs a bit of time to mature. Lots of folks have told X-Rite we NEED these functions. I can create the initial press profile in i1 Profiler, but if it needs editing, I have to do that in Monaco Profiler. Your objective is to match the color of another printing device (a professional printing press normally), not your monitor. Nice I suppose, but a useless way to tweak CMYK profiles for making contract proofs in the printing industry. i1 Profiler has an iterative profiling function, but all it's good for is tweaking prints to match screen color closer after you make the original printer profile you're working on. One is the ability to make scanner profiles. I do have i1 Profiler, but it lacks two extremely important functions Monaco Profiler has. Most importantly though, is that I have two currently irreplaceable pieces of software that require Rosetta. It actually looks pretty good now, I've just been to busy (and lazy) to start installing all of my software onto the test partition ML is on. So in a like manner, I'm still kind of waiting for Mountain Lion to settle. They couldn't bring the old code forward anymore and had to rewrite the font engine from scratch for SL. By then, Apple had finally worked out all of the worst font bugs. For example with SL, it wasn't until 10.6.3 that it stable enough to use for prepress production work. I'm currently keeping it at SL for various reasons. Bought it about 2 weeks after Lion's release.

#MOUNTAIN LION INSTALL ICC PROFILE UPGRADE#

I really didn't have a reason to upgrade from my 2008 Mac Pro yet, but wanted to get as new of a piece of hardware that I could that still ran SL. Got one of the last Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2010) models from B&H Photo they had in stock that specifically came with Snow Leopard.
