The results

After saving the profile, the software gives you a couple of results screens that are useful to examine.

When you click the first little icon at the top of the screen, you get confirmation of your White Point and Luminance outcomes:

IMPORTANT NOTE:  It's really annoying how X-Rite juggle between the "D" and "K" numbers for temperature.  Nerds will try to tell you there is a difference, but for our normal purposes they are exactly equivalent - "D65" is the same as "6500K", "D55" is the same as "5500K", etc.

The grey ramp

The second icon gives you the graph of the neutrality of your screen.  If yours is as straight as mine, you'll know you've got a good screen!

Are you proud of your screen's graph?  Post it below for us to see!

If yours is bowed or crooked, you'll know your screen is not so great.  But hopefully we'll still be able to achieve a satisfactory result.

The calibration is finished!  Now it's time to check the result.

Press the "Home" button.

Good instructions... screen seems okay?

Yep, should be fine.  That little bit of split at the bottom isn't uncommon.

Keep an eye out for weird looking blacks in your photos, but I'm sure it won't be an issue.

Great, thanks! I’m now ready to take your deluxe raw class, how do I upgrade?

How is this graph?

[Damien Symonds]

It's beautiful.

[Judy]

awww. shucks.  Thanks.

Ignored Datacolor and recalibrated with your original settings but my screen is so dark, I can hardly see even with the brightness turned all the way up. This is what my graph looks like.

[Damien Symonds]

Yeah, no, that's definitely not right.  The colour is all screwy.

Why are you posting  a Spyder screenshot in the X-Rite instruction thread?

[kaitlyn brodell]

I followed your calibration instructions link and at the end went to "next unread topic" and here I am. But the graph still seemed relevant. I'm not sure what to try next. 

I did follow the Spyder Elite instructions set. Although, I've done it so many times I think I've got them all memorized.

It went badly wrong.  And nothing to do with the brightness setting.

Hi @Damien Symonds. How is this graph?
