Katie Belmont Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Is it feasible to continue to use my Spyder 3 Pro to calibrate? I just bought two new IPS monitors and was excited that they should be easier to calibrate, (as Damien and I had a hell of a time with my previous Samsung) but after checking Spyder's website for the drivers it appears that they don't list them for the Spyder 3 Pro. I know it's rather dated but I also photograph strictly as a hobby, so purchasing a new one isn't a business investment so much as an unexpected expense.

Katie Belmont Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 I guess that's a good answer for a stupid question. >_< I found the software and drivers online. They aren't listed on the main page but when I specifically searched, they were available. Now I don't have my activation code, so I'm waiting for help from the Data Color support team. I also realized I have the Elite, not the pro, which I remember being a slightly better device? I'll come back with questions if I ever get it installed and activated!

Katie Belmont Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Eeeeep! I thought I didn't have access to the e-mail account I used to register the first time, but I have it set up to forward apparently, so I got my activation code. Back in business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Belmont Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 So, you probably no longer have the Spyder3 Elite instructions on your website, so I should just wing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I never had Spyder 3 instructions, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I was a latecomer to Spyders. I only started at 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Belmont Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 You must have just walked me through it. You're a kind soul. I'm going to use your Sypder4Pro instructions and see how it goes. They seem to be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Belmont Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 It's also not giving me an edit option, so I'll just stare at that typo I made while my eye twitches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
