All, I have just got a nice shiny new PC and plumped for an ATI Radeon 9000 Atlantis card (good price, but wish I had done a bit more research BEFORE buying).
I have also bought a Colorvision Spyder with Photocal. I am pretty certain there is a 'conflict' between the profile and this card. The profile produces images that are a terrible yellow/green cast. Colorvison have (so far) only told me that they can see that the profile is not capable of the gamut it should be. They have yet to provide a solution. Their widget to test compatibility of the card says that the card is ICM compatible. I have tried the Spyder on another PC and it works fine. What I have not done is swap the Radeon for another video card. If I use a Nikon profile the same things do not happen - so it definitely looks like it is when the profile is being made is where the problem is. Neither Colorvision or Gretag or the retailer can provide me with a list of supported cards - the only 'advice' I get is "if it does'doesn't work we'll give you your money back"! Two questions: 1) Has anyone got any ideas about how to get over this? 2) Can anyone let me know what video cards work (and can recommend for Photoshop use) with either the Spyder and\or the Gretag Macbeth Eyeone/monitor kit.
