Re: Using Profile Chooser with Spyder2 Pro

2008-01-18 by tech4x5

Thanks.  That's what I thought.  I have a good profile for my prints 
and soft proofing, and that's the most important thing.  But I was 
hoping I could make another profile to use at other times when not 
doing photography that would be a little brighter, and then be able 
to just switch back and forth with the Profile Chooser.  But I 
understand this won't work if I've made hardware changes.

Thanks,
Matthew Kraus
