Hey guys

I have just ordered a new 27inch iMac top spec and wanted some advice please.

I have a Spyder 5 elite and have used it on my MacBook Pros with recommended settings through Spyder elite software. Looking at the before and after, it really has helped me with colour grading.

I'm nervous to use this on my new iMac 5K display when it arrives.

Is it safe to use the Spyder 5 and software on my new iMac? Can you recommend exactly how I would go about using it on this iMac, any advance settings?

The reason I'm concerned now is because I want this to be my main editing computer for my cinematography and videos that I will be filming for clients. Wasn't concerned when using on my 2010 MacBook Pro as it is so old but now like a new machine with a calibrated screen (was so blue I had got use to it), 8gb RAM and SSD drive.

I would really appreciate any help on this matter.

Thank you

Roberto
