Hello Everyone!

I've bought the Spyder3 color calibration unit. However, the program options are really limiting and ColorEyes doesnt work with this sensor. Has anyone else used it and can advise me on what other options are available?

I'm not into buying another sensor just yet. I'm just wondering if people have found better software or know how to input custom gamma and temperature options beyond what is in the default list.

Anyway, thanks for any help. :)
 
Thanks Mikoyan!

That thread was allot of help. The problem is that the software mentioned does not support the Spyder 3. The Spyder3 is either too new or too complicated to support. So my search continues on....

And so I found something :) ! CalMAN v3.1

Cant test it yet as I am away from home for the week, but will try to review. Initial impressions are very positive as the flexibility of the programs is quite good! Problem is I need to pay $200 for the version that will work with my sensor. grrr.

So sorry :o thats for the Spyder2 lol never knew theres already another one out!

Perhaps join avforums they are really great bunch of people there...im sure someone there will have a spyder3 and might save yourself $200!:eek:


Edit: 'might' have saved you $200 :p

HCFR (which I used) is freeware yet there is no Spyder3 support ......yet

Beta has been pulled from publick download, but they said should be available in next few weeks (this was in sept) so maybe be due soon!

You can try going to main HCFR site and asking them but the whole site is in french lol so may need google translate.

probably someone in the forum or support will give you link for beta but they say its not stable...

Hope this helps
