PaperCrowns Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I can't seem to Calibrate my my computer, I have an asus g47s on window 7 with a spyder4pro. I have read the calibration page and I am missing something. I've tried with different settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hi Kimberly, what's the problem exactly? In what way is it going wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperCrowns Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 I can't get my monitor to look like my picture, keeps coming out more orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The monitor is warmer than the prints? Or the other way around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperCrowns Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 monitor is warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Ok. Even though these instructions are for the Spyder5, not the 4, I think you should read the "Part 9: Troubleshooting" at the bottom: https://www.damiensymonds.net/cal_S5P_mac.html See if any of that info helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaperCrowns Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Still can't seem to figure out my calibration issue. Ive done it with no outside light, it could be my bulbs but keeps coming out orange. I've changed locations in my house several times. I'm so frustrated. I'm sure i'm missing something, probably easy, but I just cant seem to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 If orange bulbs were the problem, then your screen would look colder than your prints. But you said your screen looks warmer than the prints, didn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 In cases like this it's always important to check if the problem is the calibrator itself. So to that end, have you tried calibrating a different computer, to see what the result is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperCrowns Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 no, I have not. It's warmer then the prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Ok, for now let's rule out a lighting problem. Lighting problems are more common when the screen is cooler than the prints. Do you have another computer in the house you can test the calibrator on? (It doesn't need to be an editing computer - any old computer will do.)

PaperCrowns Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 I will tomorrow, but not tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperCrowns Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 I re-calibrated but I can't figure out it matched my prints. It's to dark to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 In that case, there IS a problem with your room light. It needs to be bright enough to compare prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
