Re: Monitor calibrator question

[Paul Sorenson]

Here's another vote for the Spyder.  I've been using the Datacolor 
calibrators on Windows marhines though several iterations beginning with 
the Spyder 2, and now the Spyder X Pro.  All have proven worthy of 
spot-on calibration.  Amazon is showing the Spyder X Pro for $150.

that there is no longer software available.

So, I am shopping for a new calibrator. I’m not feeling fond of Xrite at the 
moment. What are people’s experiences with the Spyder calibrator (a mere $169)?

You can be pretty sure Spyder will have the right drivers for your new Mac. 
I’ve been through four mac computers since I bought my first Spyder about 20 
years ago. No software problems  I render photos for publication on a regular 
basis. The NY Times photo editors have told me my renders are bullseyes, same 
with the magazine guys I work with.

Same here. Two Spyders even. Never was happy with them. Then I got a
Colormunki and I've been a happy camper ever since.

Having said this, I still haven't calibrated my current Eizo CS2740.
It's been spot on right out of the box. Never felt the need to do
something about it.

Which did you get? What is it replacing?  M1 processor? I will be interested to 
read your review on it, particularly for photo processing.

Re: Monitor calibrator question

[Bill]

X-Rite is the gold standard for monitor calibration. Frankly, it's not
their fault that Apple breaks shit every time they release an update.
I've been using the same Eye1 since Windows XP. I'm now on Win 10 using the
same software as I started with.

I'd be feeling not fond of Apple for fucking things up for me and buy
another X-Rite.

Whatever you buy, you can rest assured that at some point Apple will decide
to screw you on it.

I had a Spyder, which I had bought because in theory one could use it in Linux, 
but they were downright antagonistic. At some point after getting my mac I went 
to the colormunki, which I liked a lot better.  I recently ran into isues with 
the colormunki/xrite software no longer working on the generation of macos on 
my computer, so I upgraded that and broke lightroom.  Long story short, I ended 
up having to do some aftermarket juju to upgrade my mac pro to catalina (which 
is about to be end of life) and start paying for the ransomware lightroom.

You could try running displaycal and see how it works with the xrite i1

I r been using Spyder for 20 years. My monitor is extremely accurate. I can 
produce near perfect prints first attempt.

Monitor calibrator question

[Rick Womer]

It’s a long story, but I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and external monitor 
as “work” computers.

The colors are ugly, though, and I’d like to calibrate both devices.

The problem is that my calibrator is an Xrite i1 Display, which is old enough 
that there is no longer software available.

So, I am shopping for a new calibrator. I’m not feeling fond of Xrite at the 
moment. What are people’s experiences with the Spyder calibrator (a mere $169)?

Re: GESO - Metropolis

[Toralf Lund]

Thanks.

This is plain, old Oslo. Several shots are from recently developed areas.

I'm not sure it qualifies as a Metropolis, really, but I was looking for 
that "theme" at least in part, seeing as it's also the marketing name of 
the film. :-)

For someone like me, living in the shadow of New York, that may not fit the
usual  preconception of a Metropolis, but it certainly looks like a
pleasant place to stroll and explore.

Thanks for looking. Or alternatively for ignoring it completely, which
is probably also OK. As I'm saying, I tend to go out with High Hopes in
these circumstances, but tend to end up with something that's, well,
quite ordinary, I guess.

Ah. Not sure I've watched any of his films in their entirety, but I've 
seen some scenes. Didn't think about them when posting, though.

What is the ‘special’ film you used?


The film is actually called Metropolis. Lomography brand. Which I guess 
often means a repackaged/rebranded version of something else, possibly 
intended for a different purpose, but I think they claim that this one 
is actually a new film.



  I have been taking B film photos lately, mainly Ilford FP-4, but I have 
bought five rolls of Ferrania P30 which promises interesting things.

Nice.

  Now I have to find a suitably neo-realist set of subjects.


Exactly. I also got a roll of Lomography Potsdam Kino 100. Might be similar.
