Datacolor's SPYDER® line of digital imaging products has become the most recognizable and honored color calibration brand in the world. Datacolor has created a whole portfolio of digital imaging innovations for graphic designers, creative professionals and professional photographers. Each product is designed to take the "work" out of a color managed workflow so you can concentrate on what really matters - your creativity.
Color management is the process of ensuring that colors are true and consistent throughout the entire digital workflow, from capturing images to digital editing and printing your work. Every device displays colors differently. Cameras, monitors and printers each have their own interpretation and range of colors they can reproduce. Color management systems (CMS) work by using device profiles, also known as ICC profiles which are simply data files that fingerprint how a particular device produces color. By calibrating your displays and printers, you can rely on these devices to display colors that are exactly as they should be.
As a photographer, it is critical that your images are displayed and printed correctly. If you have a color-managed digital workflow, you can be confident that your colors are true and avoid costly mistakes and time-consuming reprints.
Each display is unique in the way it displays colors and over time, they drift, age and wear out. Calibrating your monitor is like tuning your car’s engine. You need to calibrate regularly to achieve accurate, consistent color, life-like flesh tones, superb gray balance and tonal response. A calibrated monitor is the first step in color management and is essential in your digital workflow.
Color perception by the human eye is subjective and is different from person to person. The Spyder3 is like an “electronic eye” that scientifically measures color and adjusts it to the industry standard. Therefore, wherever color is critical, a calibrated monitor is essential for the best color experience possible.
