Re: [datacolor_group] Keep Datacolor software installed?

2016-05-13 by Cdtobie

Under Windows, the video corrections need to be loaded at startup by the Spyder Utility. On the Mac the OS takes care of it. Without the VLUTs, the color is not corrected, even with the profile applied. There was some talk about recent versions of Windows doing this at the OS level, but I've not seen that function to date.
