Colour profiles help

[Scottie68]

Ive just got myself a Spyder3Studio SR kit and im after details on how to set everything up correctly from calibration right the way through to colour profiles and setting up PS5 colour profiles etc.
Does anyone know of any sites with step by step guides?

Any help much appreciated as this is a totally new area to me

have you actually read the instructions that come with the kit and followed the instructions that the software gives you?

All done thanks. I did follow the instructions to the tee, but was a little unsure what profiles etc to use in PS5 and LR which the instructions didnt cover. Ive now found a great website with all the details on and am very happy with the results.

any profile you make is placed in the correct folder so when you open photoshop and print it is there in the pull down list.

The spyder system is pretty simple to use.

It's always helpful if you find a resource to link to it, rather than just keep it to yourself

It helps others that may have a similar question, and find this thread through a search.
