I am curious if there is a simple check to ensure the Spyder3 is working correctly. I have the Spyder3Elite 3.0.7 release. After building a profile and using it, I did a check using the Colorimeter option under tools and got the following for a RGB 255,255,255 setting: Lab: 89.879,-2.658,-17.389 Kelvin: 6501, 0.044 dab XYZ: 72.046, 76.042, 82.389 I am running on XP, with a dual monitor off a single graphics card but am concerned only with the primary monitor which is an EIZO CG222W. Visually the color patch on the Colorimeter test screen has a definite color cast, at least visually. I then ran the EIZO ColorNavigator software and calibrated the monitor to 6500K, 2.2 Gamma. I opened Spyder3Elite and took another colorimter reading. I got the following for the RGB 255,255,255: Lab: 90.300, -0.767, -21.976 Kelvin: 6862, 0.162 dab XYZ: 73.826, 76.953, 89.161 I then built a new profile using Spyder3Elite and checked again: Lab: 89.908, -2.346, -17.855 Kelvin: 6528, 0.10 dab XYZ: 72.255, 76.105, 83.055 My Spyder3Elite settings are: LCD Gamma 2,2 White Point: 6500K Luminance Mode: visual Black and White Luminance: na Certify: no Gray balanced calibrarion: on Ambient light compensation: off Does this look correct? In the past when I asked about Spyder3Elite and the EIZO monitor/software, the suggestion was to use the EIZO software to adjust the monitor and then use the Spyder3 to build a profile based on that. Thanks, Rollin
