WITH DATACOLOR SPYDER, CALIBRATION TAKES ONLY ABOUT 90 SECONDS




Digital content creators want to be certain that the images they capture, create, edit, and view on their monitors will be represented as accurately as possible. Manual calibration of a monitor (laptop and/or desktop) is the first essential step to achieving this. It ensures accurate starting editing colors, allowing users to express their creative vision as precisely as possible and share their work both digitally and in print to establish an authentic connection with their audience. While monitors and screens may come factory-calibrated, it is important for users to calibrate their monitors to suit their specific workflow and to ensure that accurate colors are maintained over time. Users should calibrate their monitors every two weeks, before performing color-critical work, or when lighting conditions or locations change. Using "Datacolor Spyder," calibration takes only about 90 seconds, allowing users to see their digital world accurately and to maximize their monitor's color performance and accuracy for their specific workflow. Even a trained eye cannot be relied upon to precisely adjust monitor colors. Our eyes and brains are designed to compensate for light and color, whereas "Spyder" offers an unbiased assessment of monitor color accuracy. An accurate monitor allows the user to truly see their image file and edit it purposefully. The portable, rugged "Spyder" allows users to simplify their workflow while photographing, creating content, and designing digitally in the studio or on the go. Now "Spyder" can calibrate a wide range of monitors, including wide-gamut and standard-gamut LEDs, as well as the latest technologies such as OLED, mini-LED, and "Apple Liquid Retina XDR," optimizing color saturation, deep shadows, nuanced highlights, and the enhanced details these monitors provide. Datacolor's exclusive "Device PreviewTM Beta" feature allows users to get an impression of how their photographic images might look on other devices without using the actual devices. Screens, printers, and devices feature different capabilities when it comes to the color range they can convey (color gamut). This can lead to color distortion or poor reproduction when the same image is viewed across multiple devices. "Device PreviewTM Beta" allows users to see an approximation of their photo image on mobile devices—they simply need to select one of the profiles designed for the latest phones and tablets. Users can also use this feature to use an ICC printer profile to smoothly check and preview how their prints will look, tailored to a specific printer model, paper, and ink, as well as the printing service provider. Intuitive software and one-click preset calibration settings quickly and easily help beginners achieve professional results. Experienced professionals can utilize customizable calibration settings to master colors like never before.

ADAPTATION TO LIGHTING CHANGES




Automatic ambient lighting adjustment measures and monitors ambient light to ensure that the current screen profile best suits your environment. Not every task requires controlled lighting, so by allowing "Spyder" to adapt calibration to ambient lighting, an optimal monitor profile is ensured. When performing ambient lighting calibration, several profiles are created for different ambient lighting levels.
