Mind you Toobi,
You might want to give me some advice after reading what I sent to my camera
shop:
"I want to buy a calibration device. My choice would be between the
Spyder2express and the Spyder3Pro, unless you have still a better choice. My
problem: I'm colour blind. It's difficult for me to calibrate my monitor. So
far, using my Samsung software and Adobe Gamma, I've succeeded in getting
the job done (my printouts are very satisfactory after "photoshopping" them,
in the sense that what I see is what I get, more or less). The Spyder 2
Express seems to be less complicated than the Pro 3. Am I right in saying
this? Would I get as good results using either, given my colour blindness?"
Toobi, the thing that worries me is that the Spyder3Pro has 16 calibration
choices. Am I apt to rise to the task?
Thanks
Marcel
