Re: How to set for Native gamma with Spyder3 Elite

2009-06-10 by chasp505

I apologize for the tone of my last post, but I am severely physically handicapped and can sometimes get oversensitive when I perceive that I've been ignored. The handicapped tend to get conditioned by society to be aggressively assertive.

That said, I find it odd that every vendor selling the Spyder3 Elite mentions this "advanced feature" in their descriptive text, but there is no reference to it in the Help files, the Knowledge Base at DataColor, or the many product reviews I've read. But your explanation reveals that it's a non-issue for my purposes.

Thank you, and again, please excuse my hair-trigger reply.
