 Excellent calibration software... March 19, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this color calibration software after a dreadful experience with the Huey Pantone Pro, where both my MacBook Pro and Apple 23" were calibrated with an orange/pink tint to the image. Just ghastly.
Anyway, the Huey went back, and I ordered the Spyder2Express. There's no question the Spyder2 is a quality product. The colors I ended up with after calibration are spot on. Wonderfully neutral. The device itself is a bit clunky looking, but it's not as if you need to have it sitting out the whole time. From calibration to done took about 5 minutes, and now I'm extremely happy with the way my displays look. Highly recommended, especially with the Apple display! If you are at all into photography and printing photos, this is a must. There's no excuse to not have one of these.
worked perfectly March 15, 2008

I wrestled with getting this or the new Spyder 3 (which calibrates your printer & scanner too) but didn't want to pay that much, so I took a chance & got the Express (why would I need to calibrate my printer too if I print in PS? hmmm) & it worked great!!! I'm now printing what I see on my monitor! :D ..no more too contrasty, no detail in my whites/blacks, greenish prints :P Just took a little research & time to get all the variables to work together (printer & PS options + ICC profiles)
Works as advertised March 3, 2008
I am an oil painter and I like to archive photos of my work. I have long been frustrated by the color alterations that I see on my various monitors and when printing. The ColorVision Spyder2 should at least give me a more trustworthy on-screen representation. I do see the difference after calibration, but have yet to do exhaustive tests of my own to see how the color realism compares with the original paintings. The product was very easy to use and appears to work as advertised.
Nice product March 2, 2008
Since I got a new printer, my monitor was way out of callibration (printing way too dark) until I bought, and used this. It's not hard to use and very effective.
 Terrible software March 1, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Seems like it would be a great product if the software wasn't so bad. The profile chooser software is terrible. Constant messages and errors and they still haven't fixed it. I have to constantly select the correct color profile at bootup and nothing I've tried seems to fix that. When I do run with the color profile, it's great though, so I give it 3 stars. 5 is the software was good.
