The Spyder3 Pro Display Calibrator for Serious Photographers

The Spyder3 Pro is for serious photographers and creative pros require a high degree of color accuracy; from capturing images, to digital editing and printing, Spyder3Pro delivers. This third generation colorimeter comes equipped with new state-of-the-art optical design and photo-centric user interface providing accurate, reliable and consistent color. Spyder3Pro gives you more precise control over white point and gamma, new ReCAL option cuts re-calibration time in half and SpyderProof function brings you a new level of color control to help you save time, money and achieve color excellence.

Designed for:
Serious & Professional Photographers or anyone whose display is the heart of their digital workflow will benefit from Spyder3 monitor calibration.

Third Generation Spyder Technology
The Spyder3 colorimeter is based on a state-of-the-art optical design, with the industry's only 7 detector color engine and largest light aperture, providing unrivaled performance. In conjunction with the patented filter array and embedded ambient light sensor, Spyder3 provides industry-leading performance for the precision calibration of LCD, CRT and notebook displays.

Elegant Form and Function
A unique fusion of design excellence and functionality, Spyder3 offers a smaller footprint, embedded ambient light sensor and LED indicator. Spyder3's desktop cradle can be used for storage and ambient light monitoring. A beautiful addition to your desktop or studio, Spyder3 improves any color workflow.

Designed for Photographers
Spyder3 increases light sensitivity 400%. It also features the largest screen sample area or aperture in the industry resulting in improved accuracy on LCD screens and a faster calibration time. Two superior attachment methods - large area suction cup or counterweight - can be used interchangeably to suit the needs of any photographer. Building on a foundation of 35 years of color science excellence, Datacolor designed the Spyder3 for the way photographers work.

New Super-Fast ReCAL Option
ReCAL option reduces calibration time by more than half allowing you to quickly and easily re-calibrate on a more frequent basis or before any important shoot or post-production project.

Intelligent Ambient Light Control
Utilizing an embedded high-precision sensor, Spyder3 automatically measures the ambient light within a room for a new level of precision calibration. Spyder3 provides you with options to change either your studio lighting or display profile if the ambient light changes. Maintaining a history log of lighting conditions, Spyder3 can intelligently discern true lighting changes from random fluctuations caused by studio flashes or shadows.

New Photo-Centric User Interface
New software interface is designed for the way photographers think and work. Offers easy navigation for each step of the calibration process. A progress bar indicates your location in the software and is augmented by rich, contextual help. You don't have to be a color guru to get professional results.

16 Calibration Target Choices
Sixteen user-selected white point and gamma combinations gives you the flexibility to use the photo industry standard, or options to best match your working conditions.

New SpyderProof Function
Evaluate your calibration in before and after mode using four quadrants of thematic photos targeting: Saturated Colors, Skin Tones, Gradients and Black & White. Zoom in on any photo to analyze highlights, shadow detail, color or tonal response. Softproof the images using your own custom profiles. Designed for the way photographers work, SpyderProof brings you a new level of control to help you achieve color excellence.

New Display Assistant
Allows you to enter all of the model-specific information for each of your displays and stores them, saving you time on all future calibrations.

New Real-time calibration monitoring
Ensures that your display is color accurate through on-going background checks of calibration and profile settings and lets you know if there is a problem. This feature is especially useful if you have multiple users.

New Cross-platform compatibility
The only calibration products that works efficiently on any computer, Mac OS X or Microsoft® Windows® XP 32/64, Vista 32/64. Spyder3 software runs on today's popular hardware and software platforms, including Intel based Macintosh systems.

GretagMacbeth ColorChecker 24 Patch Chart £65.00

Fri, 17 Jun 2005 12:37:10 +0100

ColorChecker Chart. Colour chart with 24 squares used for calibrating and evaluating color reproduction systems

The ColorChecker is a checkerboard array of 24 scientifically prepared colored squares in a wide range of colors. Many of these squares represent natural objects of special interest, such as human skin, foliage and blue sky. These squares are not only the same color as their counterparts, but also reflect light the same way in all parts of the visible spectrum. Because of this unique feature, the squares will match the colors of natural objects under any illumination and with any color reproduction process.

The ColorChecker provides a totally non-subjective standard of comparison to help determine the true color balance of any color rendition system. It provides the needed standard for comparing, measuring and analyzing differences in color reproduction in various processes, thereby avoiding costly mistakes.

Some of its applications include:

• Photography: Check films, lights, filters and paper.
• Graphic Arts: Check any printing or proofing process.
• Electronic Publishing: Check scanners, monitors and proofing devices.
• Television: Check cameras, monitors, lights and film

The finger wheel can be set to one of up to 1,024 different steps without the user having to lift a finger. In this way, the quantity of digital colour or the strength of a digital effect can be precisely controlled and kept constant. The Intuos3 Airbrush, delivered with every Intuos3 Special Edition tablet, comes in black colour to match the new design of the Special Edition.

Display Toggle

The "Display Toggle" function is especially useful to those using the Intuos3 Special Edition in a multiple monitor environment. This feature allows the user to use the Intuos3 tablet with either all monitors or just one. By pressing an ExpressKey, the user can toggle between a default assignment and a user-defined assignment for each monitor.

Pan/Scroll

This function can be assigned to any ExpressKey or tool key and makes dragging any document or image on the screen in any direction possible. By pressing the appropriate button and moving the pen over the active surface of the tablet, the document or image is moved in the direction indicated by the pen.

The Intuos3 Special Editions innovative hardware and functionality is yet further confirmation of Wacoms commitment of the last 25 years: That of being the leading brand for pen input for creative professionals.
