I am using two different Monitors, and the image looks very different on each. One shows the image as I would like it, with nice deep colours, but the other shows it with very pale colours. I need to know how it looks on your Monitors, so I can choose which to use for PP. thanks.

I am using 2 monitors myself and it seems to be a medium violet on both of mine.

Ah, but which one shows it the closest to how it would be if printed with no PP? That is the one that matches your output.Once you now this, you can adjust for brightness, saturation, etc knowing that changes on your monitor will result in the same result in your printer output

Thanks All, sounds as though you are getting the same as me, I will try adjusting the other one to suit.
Have got a Spider 2, but since changing to Win 8.1 it is no longer recognized.

Calibrate your monitors.

I think I did say that I had a calibrator, but the drivers are no longer suitable for current windows.
We are not all rich enough to keep replacing these tools everytime windows upgrades

Never upgrade your OS until you know your software will run on the new OS. This has always been rule #1.

Man with two watches never knows what time it is (unless they are calibrated).

Flowers in center look violet and leaves look green with a very slight yellow hue, flowers out of focus on the left look deeper violet, almost purple, on my screen.
