SpyderPRO 2.2 Release Date

SpyderPRO 2.2 Release Date

2006-03-17 by Tom

Do you know how soon (roughly) the new 2.2 Spyder2PRO will be
released?  I understand certainly this is not a hard and fast commit date.

Just curious

It will release (and be available from the CV websites) after completion of translations and related testing (we're well on our way through that already). It will ship in product boxes sometime thereafter, given the production and delivery timelag.

If one has Spyder 2 Pro will one be able to download an upgrade incorporating SpyderPro 2.2 or will I have to purchase new software?

Their stated policy is that you can download an upgrade (at least
thats what it says on the website).  Thats one of the things I really
like about the ColorVision equipment.

Thanks much Tom. Do you know what new additions they plan to incorporate besides the ambient light correction?

This would make more sense if I had addressed the correct product. What I said above relates to PrintFIX PRO v1.1; it also happens to relate to Spyder2PRO v2.2, except that S2P 2.2 is well beyond translation and into final tests before release...

Aways a few new tweaks, but the main feature of v2.2 is the ambient light functions, see the Ambient Light help file from Spyder2PRO v2.2 that I loaded to the files section for a description.

Nope ... but we do have the ear of the ColorVision folks here so if
you have a specific question I'm sure they can address it.

I'm a user just like you :-)

The ColorVision servers are in the process of being moved, so no new 
updates will appear there for a while. But Spyder2PRO v2.2 should be 
posted there as soon as the transfer is complete.

I went to www.colorvision.com just a short while ago and downloaded
SpyderPro2.2 setup and installed it. So it must be there now!!!

After downloading it, I connected the SpyderPro2 to my laptop and
rested the device on the screen and started the calibration process.
It being a laptop I realized the settings would be handled in a
different manner than my desktop with the CRT monitor. The laptop
default is 6500 and Gamma 2.2. There are no settings to adjust for the
brightness other than backlight so I made none and let the software do
its thing and then saved the resultimg profile for the laptop. I
rebooted and got a screen message that there was no monitor profile
other than the default laptop setting from the factory. I searched and
found the profiles for the monitor and I found the profile Spyder
created, but I could not set the laptop to use it. I really would like
to calibrate the laptop but am now at a loss. Can anyone give me some
pointers on how to get the system to recognize the Spyder profile??

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades

My guess from this is that you are on Windows, and have one of those 
problem systems where calling Windows to set the profile as the OS 
monitor profile fails... (and Windows also fails to send back a 
notification when this happens...). If so, then use the Profile Chooser 
software that comes with Spyder2PRO to assign the profile as the 
monitor profile. If that doesn't do the trick, contact ColorVision 
support, and they will run you through all the possible tricks to get 
things running.

Hello CD,

Your mentioning something rang a chord about monitor profiles in
Windows and went to the display choice in control Panel and the
settings tab and then chose color management which then allowd me to
go to find the SpyderPRO created profile and then selected that one
and as soon an ACR calibrator stops running I'll reboot and see if
thngs go OK then. Thanks for the inspiration.

Your friend in Photography ( and now color printing)
