5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Deal!, July 10, 2004

I am an amatuer photographer, and painter. And I have always had trouble producing consistent colors and contrast with images. I adjusted my monitor all the time, but the images would look different on other monitors. I really wanted to get the Pantone Sypder, but couldn't afford it. When I saw ColorPlus and the price I got it right away. Let me just say that after installing the software (which was easy) and hooking up the hardware (easy too) and then going through the on screen guide (which took maybe 10 minutes), I noticed a HUGE difference in my pictures. At first I really didn't notice anything, until I opened some pictures of people. You can see excellent flesh tones. Before it was like looking through a blurry glass, now pictures of people are sharp and clear. Plus my video games are much clearer as well.

Bottom line: If you do lots of graphics work and are on a budget this is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, March 10, 2006

This little piece of software and hardware combination works great. I had a bad problem with colors being different in my color managed applications (adobe photoshop, rawshooter premium) and my windows using a Samsung LCD screen. Calibrating the colors using colorvision solved this - now I have consistent and precise colors throughout. It's simple to setup and run. Just remember to turn of your screensaver / powersaving mode when running this because if your screen goes off in the middle of the process you will not get a working profile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Results on a Budget, March 18, 2006

This review is from: ColorVision ColorPlus (CD-ROM)

I have a single LCD monitor on a Windows XP system. I have had no problems with this product. I am very satisfied with it and the results I get from using it as a semi-pro photographer. Using the standard pro software to edit and set-up my images I need to soft-proof my images with a printer profile that simulates how my pics will look as printed on a particular commercial printer. Colorvision's Colorplus allows me to get reliable, pro-quality results where the images on my screen will match what I get from my commercial printer. Excellent value!!!
