>Two questions about Spider3print. First What does the new software do that PFP2 doesn't other than having a new GUI?  Are the profiles superior and if so in what way?

The profiles are as superior as they were in the previous version...:-)
No difference, no changes in the profiling algorithm. (Otherwise, I would
have said so in the Update Notes).

The main functional difference (vs. the cosmetic changes in the UI)
is the SpyderProof display of images after you build a profile.

>Second, I downloaded the S3P release and it refuses to find my colorvision mouse even though it shows up nicely with PFP2. Is this normal behavior - does S3P require the new hardware or is it capable of struggling along with the freehand mouse from PFP2?

There's no difference there, and no reason why Spyder3Print shouldn't be
able to see your spectro. It doesn't require new hardware at all, and I'm
using it for development with spectros ranging from original preproduction
test units to release units.

If you go into Preferences, and switch the popup to "Spectro", it's not
picking up and seeing your unit...?
