While I await CS4 to buy the Mac version - if I profile my monitor under
Leopard /mac side will the profile be valid under the Windows side or
must I also profile the monitor under the Windows side?

Since I'll be printing under windows I assume all print/paper profiling
should be Windows side only.

In the mean time I'll check out Lightroom for the Mac

Eagerly looking forward to CS4

Many thanks for your excellent assistance
