Re: Monitor calibrator question
Every version of Spyder comes with new software. There may be upgrades for older versions as well. Google it.

Late on this. a couple of years go there was some discussion about new software for a Spyder. I recall Toine saying how well it worked. So... if you have a Spyder?

Re: Monitor calibrator question
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. -p On 8/24/2022 4:05 PM, Rick Womer wrote: It’s a long story, but I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and external monitor as “work” computers.

Re: Monitor calibrator question
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.

Re: Monitor calibrator question
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. bill On Wed., Aug. 24, 2022, 3:06 p.m. Rick Womer, wrote: > 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 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.

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

Monitor calibrator question
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)?
