Hi ! I´m not sure, but I think 1.33 didnt work. I use 1.68 Spectrolino 2.11 Spectroscan Try to find 1.68 or higher and update. I did a quick test whit 1.33, and of course, it worked, I dont think it is a Argyll problem. ----------- I have no idea about the reading diff, but I think, depending on the media surface, Spectrolino whit Pol-filter will give a darker reading on dark areas, the Pol seems to ignore (more or less) the mate surface light spread. //Magnus 2011/5/17 Vittorio Villani <vittoriovillani@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Thanks for the answer. > > I changed the -F parameter trying all the possibilities.
