Display profiles should move from Mac to Win successfully, if for the 
same videocard; but this is rarely done, and I can think of assorted 
possible details that could mess things up...

I tried it on 2 Macs, both intel, one of which is only a month old 
iMac, so it
is still squeaky
clean. Both exhibit the same problem - I load custom profile from the 
menu when
the
program starts, click on next.., accepting defaults, it happily goes 
through all
colors, and
at the end it gets killed with EXC_BAD_ACCESS/KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE.

Is there anyone with a Mac, particularly an Intel one, who is willing 
to try? I
am loading L-
Star-RGB.icc that comes with Spyder3Print, but one could presumably use 
this
http://www.colormanagement.org/en/workingspaces.html (which is Karl 
Koch's
website,
who as far as I understand is the guy who defined and/or made original 
profiles
for L-
Star).

As for the above response, it is not going to work under emulation - I 
think
neither
vmware nor parallels emulate video drivers with LUTs. I was going to 
try Boot
Camp and do
it natively in Windows. Just don't know if resulting ICC profile would 
give
correct colors on
the Mac.
