Spyder 3 Pro

[Katie Belmont]

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.

You won't know until you try, I guess ...

[Katie Belmont]

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]

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.

[Katie Belmont]

So, you probably no longer have the Spyder3 Elite instructions on your website, so I should just wing it?

[Damien Symonds]

I never had Spyder 3 instructions, sorry.

[Katie Belmont]

Whaaaat? I must be nuts.

[Damien Symonds]

I was a latecomer to Spyders.  I only started at 4.

[Katie Belmont]

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.

It's also not giving me an edit option, so I'll just stare at that typo I made while my eye twitches.
