It seems perfect now as far as lighting.  I switched my desk position to be more under these led lights that I have.  It seems like my prints are a little cooler than this album that I just had printed.  I wonder if it is the LED light that I am under making it appear cooler?

yes

my prints are cooler and darker than the my screen

Not going well.  I'm not sure why this is so difficult for me. 

ok, will do! For the display settings.  Should I customize it ti 65k or leave to native? 

I have.  I am working with a basement with the small windows.  I block them off during the day to avoid weird ambient and inconsistent light.  I don't have much option for more lights since it is an unfinished basement with only a few ceiling lights installed.  I have the 3 head garage LED  lights installed to make it as bright as possible down here. 

I have a lamp I could work with in that corner.  

this was another option I tried.  With my back to the light as shown in the pic, it said it was High brightness.  Thoughts on this spot? 

Ok, I'm definitely doing something wrong.  My prints are cooler and darker than my screen.  I switched to the other side of my desk and got the reading of "moderately low" for my room light which was preferred according to the Spyder.  

I attached a picture of my editing area for reference. 

I did customize my screen color to be 6500, I read that somewhere and can't find where now because I have been through so many files and facebook posts.  Switching back to "native" seems better 

I am wondering if I chose the wrong calibrator.  Will the SpyderXElite work with a MacBook Pro 2018?

The only other option is to go to a current of 76.0.  Am I doing something wrong ?

the closest I have without going over is target: 70 current: 54.  Too off? 

Does the "measure room level" hold any value?  my reading said the room level was "very low"
