Premiere Camera Color Correction for Photo and Video. Start your color control at the capture stage with the new SpyderCHECKR. It allows photographers to color calibrate their cameras, perform precision in-camera white balance and record known-color samples. SpyderCHECKR helps capture consistent color from day to day and camera to camera and apply these results easily in your workflow with RAW import software such as, Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. The sturdy design has 48 spectrally engineered color patches, easy to use calibration software making post production quicker by getting consistent, predictable color right from the start.

Problem:

Every camera make, model, and individual chip records color in different ways. These camera sensors do not see the same as our eyes and the camera manufacturers go through a lot of trouble to manipulate the data so you get a realistic image. But, there is a lot going on that you have no knowledge or control of.

Solution:

Color control and consistency requires a color reference tool to account for these variations. Adding color management at the capture stage of your digital workflow assures consistency and accuracy from day to day as well as from camera to camera. A custom camera profile enables you to apply a ‘translation’ that compensates for the characteristics of the light source and sensors to give a more accurate color reproduction in your images.

Feature:

Decrease trial and error color adjustment by correcting color automatically as part of your image import workflow. SpyderCHECKR gives you the color reference to capture true color in your photo shoot, create a custom camera calibration and perform precision in-camera white balance.

Benefit:

SpyderCHECKR helps capture consistent color from day to day and camera to camera and apply these results easily in your workflow with RAW import software such as, Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. The sturdy design has 48 spectrally engineered color patches, easy to use calibration software making post production quicker by getting consistent, predictable color right from the start.

Features:

• Consistent color control for your RAW workflow made easy and fast with SpyderCHECKR and its powerful software, giving you a color standard for any camera and decreasing your post production time
• Neutral gray target & gray ramp for in-camera white balance and visual neutrality analysis
• Extensive skintone samples for portrait & fashion photography
• Durable self casing construction for easy transport and field use, with replaceable targets, tripod mount and Fade strip indicator*
• Easy-to-use software interacts with Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Camera Raw, Hasselblad Phocus, and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve to produce calibration presets, which fit directly into your digital workflow; No DNG processing required, multiple lightsource calibration option included

*FadeCheckr is a light sensitive patch which allows you to track the light exposure of your target and warns you when its time to replace the Target Sheets.

Replace your SpyderCHECKR color cards to maintain top color balance. Over time the colors on your SpyderCHECKR color cards will fade with exposure to any light source. This gradual fading will eventually affect the accuracy of color balance in your photography workflow.

When you notice the red patch has changed to a yellow-orange color* in the FadeCheckr window at the bottom left corner inside the Checkr, it is time to replace the color cards.
This will assure you have the true spectrally engineered colors for all 48 patches on the two cards, providing you with the utmost in color accuracy for your photography.

*Note – some earlier SpyderCHECKR products had only one light exposure red patch that is visible through the FadeCheckr window. Products manufactured after December 2010 have two patches for ease in determining the amount of fading (one is hidden behind the frame inside the Checkr when the cards are in place).

The Smarter Focus Tool Spyder. LENSCAL provides a fast, reliable method of measuring the focus performance on your camera and lens combinations. It allows photographers to obtain razor-sharp focusing or check to see that their lenses are working at their peak performance. This device is compact, lightweight and durable, with integrated level and tri-pod mount.

The Problem:

Photographers have enjoyed the benefit of autofocus for 25 years now, but many still struggle with its accuracy and repeatability. Auto-focus is a great convenience, especially in fast shooting situations. But typically the first step in reviewing files from a shoot is tossing all the images where the focus isn’t quite right. This can be motion blur or other issues, but one of the most frequent causes is auto-focus error. We tend to blame this on the camera choosing the wrong object, or the wrong point on the object as the focal point, but there is another possibility, one we hate to consider, given the price of the hi-end lenses we use: the auto-focus of our lens may simply be off. When you take a simple shot of a flat object perpendicular to the camera, and it still isn’t quite as sharp as it should be, you have to accept that this may be the cause.

The Solution:

Many newer DSLR cameras now offer a method to correct this issue: they allow you to store auto-focus correction data for several of your most important lenses. This feature is likely to become more common, and appear in other camera types. SpyderLENSCAL was designed to aid in correcting the auto-focus on your camera’s custom settings.

Features

• Fast, easy solution for your interchangeable lenses and recent DSLR bodies provides razor-sharp auto-focusing, using modern DSLR autofocus micro-adjustment technology
• Compact, lightweight and durable, with integrated level and tri-pod mount, making this the most convenient way to adjust your own camera gear
• Save time and hassle of sending your equipment in for service. Now you can check or calibrate your own lenses
• Accurate and repeatable calibration of your lenses and recent DSLR bodies
• Worthwhile investment to ensure your camera is focusing your lenses as precisely as possible.

What you get

• Datacolor SpyderLENSCAL
• Quick Start Guide

Requirments

• DSLR or other camera with capability to store lens auto-focus corrections
• Auto-focus lenses capable of being driven by this camera
• No OS requirements, as the tool works entirely within the camera’s menu

Monitor Performance Analysis

It’s important to know how your monitors perform during color-critical work. With the SpyderX Display Analysis feature, you can better understand the color, brightness, contrast, gamut, tone response and white point of your monitors. With SpyderX Elite, you can also check screen brightness and color uniformity and display color accuracy.

Softproof Feature with SpyderX Elite

Your on-screen images may look different when you print or view them on other devices such as tablets. Softproof, only available with SpyderX Elite, lets you simulate and view these changes on your calibrated screen. For printers, you can see how prints will look for a specific printer model, paper and ink, and upload ICC printer profiles.
