Steve from LightSpace messaged me this "The basic version for use with Resolve is LightSpace LTE, combined with the i1 Display Pro OEM probe."

Also can I run parallels/windows and the lightspace on a usb drive instead of the main OS drive. I am told that unlike windows you can do that on a mac. Or does parallels have to be on your main OS drive?


I use Lightspace LTE. As far as I know that is the cheapest version that connects to Resolve. I bought the Xrite I1 Display Pro OEM probe, also via the LightIllusion website.

I have the Windows virtual machine installed on another drive than my OS drive. It doesn't matter where you install that, external drive will be fine as long as it has reasonable speed. Parallels itself is installed in my Applications folder. I haven't tried to install the Parallels application somewhere else, but it isn't very big (~ 600 MB), so not really worth it IMO.

Cool. Thanks

Just to chime in, the best bang for your buck is an Xrite I1 Display Pro OEM probe with DisplayCal.

DisplayCal is free, it does a great job,and it works with Resolve. It runs on Mac, Linux and Windows, and can be used with a host of colorimeters -- even the cheap Spyders.
