OFFERS AN UNBIASED ASSESSMENT OF MONITOR COLOR ACCURACY

 

Digital creatives want to feel confident that the images or footage they capture, create, edit and view on their monitors will be portrayed as accurately as possible. Manually calibrating a monitor (laptop/desktop) is the first essential step in making this happen. It ensures a color-accurate starting point for editing, allowing users to express their creative vision and share their work, digitally and in print, as accurately as possible for an authentic connection to their audience. While monitors and displays may come factory-calibrated, it’s important for users to calibrate their monitor to support their own particular workflow as well as to ensure it maintains accurate color over time. Users should calibrate their monitors every two weeks, before undertaking color-critical work, or whenever there are changes in lighting conditions or locations. With the Datacolor SpyderPro, calibration only takes about 90 seconds, providing an accurate view into their digital world and maximizing the color performance and accuracy of the monitor for a user’s particular workflow. Even a trained eye cannot be relied upon for accurate color adjustment of a monitor. Our eyes and brains are designed to compensate for light and color, while the SpyderPro offers an unbiased assessment of monitor color accuracy. An accurate monitor allows users to see their image files clearly and edit with intention.

 

 

 

STREAMLINED WORKFLOW AND PRECISION CALIBRATION FOR MODERN CREATIVES

 

Portable, rugged, SpyderPro lets users streamline their workflow for photo, video, content creation, digital design, whether in the studio or on-the go. And now SpyderPro can calibrate an even wider range of monitors, including the latest technologies like OLED, mini-LED, Apple Liquid Retina XDR and high-brightness displays, allowing users to optimize color richness, deep shadows, nuanced highlights, and brightness versatility. Additional features such as SpyderPro’s StudioMatch and SpyderTune ensure color continuity across multiple monitors, whether using one or more computers. Datacolor SpyderPro Fact Sheet datacolor.com/spyder Datacolor’s exclusive Device PreviewTM Beta feature gives users an impression of how their images will appear on other devices without needing to use the actual devices. Displays, printers and devices have different capabilities when it comes to the range of color they can represent (color gamut). This can result in color distortion or poor reproduction when the same image is viewed across multiple devices. Device PreviewTM Beta lets users see an approximation of their photo for mobile devices by simply selecting one of the profile options listed for the latest phones and tablets. Users can also use this feature to softproof/preview how their prints will look for a specific printer model, paper and ink, and print service provider by using an ICC printer profile. SpyderPro offers users the ultimate in color control and flexibility for today’s digital workflows. Its intuitive software and one-click calibration presets guide novices to achieve professional results quickly and easily, while experienced professionals can leverage unlimited, fully customizable calibration settings (gamma, white point, and brightness), as well as Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020 video targets, to master color like never before.

GAMMA CURVE ADJUSTMENT

 

SpyderPro’s Gamma Curve Adjustment feature lets you refine tone distribution (how seamlessly black transitions to white). Gradations are enhanced so shadow and light details remain crisp and clear. You can also balance your display’s brightness settings based on your location and needs, for precise color accuracy to capture every detail.

 

 

 

CUSTOMIZABLE CALIBRATION FOR YOUR NEEDS

 

Datacolor SpyderPro offers unlimited calibration settings for fully customized calibration for all workflows. Fine tune the gamma, white point and brightness settings for any need. There’s also a preset
list of the most common calibration targets, including those for video standards Datacolor SpyderPro Fact Sheet datacolor.com/spyder and StudioMatch. Willing to spend a bit more time for a more sophisticated calibration? Choose Better in Grey Balance in the calibration settings for smoother gradients. Pressed for time?

ADAPT TO SHIFTS IN LIGHT

 

Automatic Room Light Switching measures and tracks the lighting around you to make sure your current display profile is the one best suited for your environment. Not every task requires controlled lighting so allowing SpyderPro to adapt the calibration to your room lighting will ensure your monitor profile is optimal. During a Room Light Calibration, multiple profiles are created for different room lighting levels.

 

 

 

CALIBRATION AS BRIGHT AS YOUR ENVIRONMENT

 

Some modern monitors have brightness levels for use outdoors or in other highly illuminated settings. SpyderPro’s High Brightness calibration setting balances these monitors when working in a bright environment for an accurate reference.
