I went through this procedure for my Sony using my new X-rite but could not successfully download the programme that I needed to load results to - still need to go back to it and find out what went wrong. One thing that definitely went wrong was the folder titled Sony xrite that I created to hold the three pics. For some reason it now grabs every import into Lightroom and I have to spend time moving them later. And it’s multiplied itself, appearing in unexpected places! Almost wish I’d never bought an X-rite!

You should be able to find a version on site. On my cd it came with version 1.01 which was older than the version I already had. However, the first thing it does is check for updates and downloads version 2.0 something.

I'm guessing you are using a PC since the Mac version works fairly smoothly although the lightroom plugin didn't let me name the profile last time. By using the color calibration app I was able to make my own ok.

No, I was on a Mac. I will give it another go. Thanks for the encouragement - I’ll see what I can find.
