* ImagePrint one has to create an alias or copy profiles to an 
* Application Support/ Adobe/Color/Profiles folder in order for 
* the profiles to show up in PS7 Proof Colors. 
* Even after creating such an alias the Custom Dot Gain 
* profiles I create still don't show

Mitch,

I am on a PC with Win XP so I can't help you there. What is critical is to
get the files in the right folders and perhaps OSX is a bit different in
some way. Image Print should not have anything to do with the process
however since you are not using the profile to print with. It is simply a
soft proof profile that matches your on screen view to your printer output
independently of the printing workflow.

There should be a way to make this work. Check PS Help as I notice the often
have different instructions for OS9 and OSX.
