The software will remind me two months from now. I’m interested to see the before/after when it comes time to recalibrate my monitors. There was also a before calibration/after calibration toggle to show the difference from what the monitors were before and how they look after the process. Upon finishing it presented a dialog box for me to name the profile it had made. After the ambient light calibration, the Spyder5 monitored a bunch (technospeak for “a lot”) of colors. The Spyder5 device reported the brightness as I used Displays in the Mac’s System Preferences to adjust them. The brightness of the screen was adjusted. First, the ambient light in my studio was measure. The step-by-step assistant guided me through the process. Monitor matching is one of the features of the Spyder5ELITE. The third one is an old matte screen 23″ Cinema display. Two of them are the 27″ Thunderbolt glass screen displays I bought with the computer. I have three monitors connected via Thunderbolt 2 to my MacPro.
The serial number that comes with the Spyder5 device is required to activate the software.
There is a user’s manual and a video demonstrating the Spyder5 calibrator.
The instructions are clear on how to get the software for the Spyder5 version purchased.
