Color Management Software and Leopard Compatibility

[Bill W]

Greetings,

Would like to upgrade to Leopard but also need to keep using:

Tool Crib
Profilemaker Pro 5.0.8
ColorLab
PatchTool
ColorThink
IDEALink Curve
Xrite Diagnostics tools for eyeOne and iO

Web searches indicate that the following ought to work:

Profilemaker
PatchTool
ColorThink
IDEALink Curve

I can find no confirmations that these will work:

ToolCrib (posting on Xrite site indicated it will not work)
ColorLab
Xrite Diagnostics tools for eyeOne and iO

Appreciate feedback on success of using these apps on Leopard.

Thanks.

Did you find that Colorlab ever worked consistently on any os level?

Ive used the i1 diagnostics (not IO if there's a difference) with leopard with no issue, but not the others. ColorThink pro pretty much replaced my need to tinker with colorlab.

I'm using the following on 10.5.6 with no problems:
Profilemaker
ColorThink Pro
IDEALink Curve
PatchTool

Greetings Mike,

Thank you for continuing to remind me that ColorThink is a great program and I can use it for many, many things.

My major concern is with ToolCrib as I use it to interface with my Xrite 528. Using the 528 I average and compare both TVI and Lab values during P2P and profile press runs.

Well, it installs and launches fine on Leopard here, but I don't have a device that connects easily to a MacBook Pro (and I really prefer to avoid messing with last centuries DTP-41 or 939 and all the connectors, adapters and cables and such just to prove a point to some guy posting on a forum board, but I didn't say that out loud). You could always install Fusion, Parallels or Bootcamp and run it in Windows if for some reason it didn't work in Leopard, but it probably will.
