Hi John - the Spyder works really great (fast, easy, and effective) and it's not that expensive. I print my Photos through Mpix and they always turn out exactly the way I expect them to look like. It's a critical component when you think about it ... Frank
I appreciate the recommendation. As a strictly non-professional / enthusiast I've been slowly investing in equipment: just upgraded to an EOS 5DMII body with a basic set of "L" lenses, Adobe CS4, LR4, etc. The latest versions of the Spyder Pro / Elite seem to have garnered terrific reviews, which will be my next purchase.
