Which software?

Which software?

2010-09-28 by photojohann

A recent computer crash is forcing me to reinstall my Datacolor software.  I'd like to download the latest, best versions that are compatible with my hardware.

I've got a Spyder2 sensor for the monitor and a Model #1005 spectro for prints.  I'm running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit).  (I have a Samsung 215TW monitor and a Canon iPF5100, if that matters.)

It seems like I was running Spyder3Pro and Spyder3Print before, but the download site seems to say I would have needed a Spyder3 sensor for the Spyder2Pro software to work.  I'm confused!

Thanks in advance!

You can run Spyder3Print SR software with your older patch reader, but you can't run Spyder3Pro software with an older screen calibrator. You'll need to download the Spyder2Pro software, which should be available in the section for older products on our website. And you'll need to find your serials numbers for both products as well.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
