justirma Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I loaned my Spyder3, which worked perfectly on both PC and laptop, to a family member who lost it. So I ordered a Sypyder5Express. Since loading that my printed skin colors (from 2 labs) have magenta that my screen does not (from both screens). Reading here I saw something about uninstalling previous calibrations in two places on my computer before attempting re calibrating. I cant' find the page where you talked about that. I'm guessing that is something I should be doing? I did find restore my monitor to factory settings but my screen looks the same other than my screen is a bit brighter.

Damien Symonds Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Which Spyder3 did you have? Also the Express? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justirma Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 It must have been, I bought it used on line some years ago for $100. But my question about un installing is probably moot, since I remembered that not too long ago I had my PC restored to its factory settings so the calibrator was not even in my list of programs. I went forward and downloaded and re calibrated and what I am seeing on my screen is very closely matching the prints that I was using....as in more magenta than I want. I will be busy redoing that gallery now. And guess what! I now have an email from Spyder saying that I can upgrade to Spyder Pro for $60.00. I shouldn't do it but I am weak. If I do that, it leads me back to my original question. Do I have to delete uninstall x2 from my programs folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Oh heck yes you should do it!!! The Spyder Pro is SO much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justirma Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 So when I use it to recalibrate, do I just do it over the top of what I have done with the Express? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
