Courtney Goldman Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I used to use a colormunki, and recently got the Spyder X. Why does the Spyder use so many fewer colors when it does the calibration than colormunki? Or maybe my real question is how can it be as accurate?

Damien Symonds Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I have wondered that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtney Goldman Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 Do you think one gives better results than the other in general? I'm still having a hard time getting my WHCC prints to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Which SpyderX do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 And have you done the SpyderTune part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtney Goldman Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 A little, but I'll work at it again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 It's such an excellent function. If you can't get a good calibration with SpyderTune, then something else is wrong. Your room light, or the screen itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtney Goldman Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 I'm about to work on it now. Ironically, I thought maybe my room wasn't bright enough so I added another light. Now I am getting a glare from the white wall behind me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtney Goldman Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 I dunno. I think I've lost my mind. The prints are warmer and pinker than my screen. I've tried re-doing the calibration with different color temps, per your instructions online. That didn't work. I tried using SpyderTune, and I feel like I can get the subject to look right, but then the sky or background is totally wrong. Also, I'm thrown by the Red vs Blue and Purple vs Green. I tried pushing it towards Red and towards Purple - going for warm and pink - but it's just not working right. I'm going to quit for the night and try again tomorrow.

Courtney Goldman Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 What do I need to do to make my screen pinker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 A tiny bit of blue and red, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtney Goldman Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 On the monitor, then, not SpyderTune? Because SpyderTune has blue and red as opposite, so I'd have to choose one... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtney Goldman Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 Yep, still working on it. Are any of these better or worse for the prints I'm trying to match? I have avoided using the orange tree leaves and the aqua jacket to compare. (I chose these as they are to give to my sister and parents, and I got multiple copies of each...)
