Spyder4Pro is a display color calibration solution designed for
photographers and creative
professionals that need to match prints to their displays. It includes the
ability to adapt to ambient
light conditions.
WHY COLOR CALIBRATE YOUR DISPLAY?
-Displays render the same image differently: Calibration tunes your display to a
reference
standard and brings color consistency across desktop, laptop, multiple displays,
iPad and iPhone.
-Displays change over time: Recalibration returns it to reference state for
brightness and color
-Prints often do not match display: Display calibration provides a base for
better print matching
-Wide gamut displays may be oversaturated: Without calibration even wide-gamut
displays
may be inaccurate.
-Highlight and shadow details may be inaccurate: Control of brightness, white
point and tone
response with calibration.
-Image colors are not true to life: After calibration, images can be viewed and
edited with
confidence
-Photographers and designers can work confidently on a properly color calibrated
screen and can
assert greater control over the color fidelity of their digital process. Images
can be reliably
assessed and adjusted on a properly calibrated display, enabling true-to-life
reproduction of
image files.
HOW DOES SPYDER4PRO WORK?
-Spyder4Pro automates and simplifies display calibration. Install the software,
attach the color
sensor to USB, and step through the wizard. The sensor measures a series of
colors on your
screen and creates a "profile" that brings your display to a reference state. At
the end, you can
compare how the images look before and after calibration.
-Spyder4Pro features a patented, full-spectrum 7-color sensor that can
accurately characterize a
variety of wide gamut and normal displays. Spyder4Pro software lets you use the
same sensor to
calibrate your computer, iPad and iPhone. No other calibrator has this
capability. The fourthgeneration
sensor uses double-shielded filters for longer life and better performance. On
average,
accuracy and precision are improved by 26% and 19% respectively.
SPYDER4PRO FEATURES
Automated Color & Brightness Calibration
-Spyder4Pros simple, clear and automated process makes it straightforward to
calibrate your
displays to a reference condition. You can view and edit images with confidence
on a display
calibrated to show true-to-life colors and luminance adjusted for precise
shadow/highlight detail.
Full-spectrum color sensor
-Spyder4Pro's patented 7-color sensor improves upon colorimeters that use
3-channel RGB
sensors. Each Spyder4Pro unit is individually tuned in the factory to accurately
handle a variety of
wide-gamut and normal gamut displays with ease.
Single sensor calibrates all your displays
-Spyder4Pro works with your laptop, multiple monitors, iPad and even iPhone. It
works with LCD,
LED, OLED, CRT and other display technologies. You can calibrate multiple
displays connected
to your computer.
Improved accuracy and stability
-The fourth-generation Spyder4Pro has double-shielded color filters for an even
closer match to
CIE color standards and improved long term stability. Average accuracy increased
by 26% and
consistency between Spyder units has improved 19%.
Fast Re-calibration Assistant
-The ReCAL feature makes it quick and easy to recalibrate your display to
compensate for
changes that occur over time.
Adapts display to surrounding light
-The lighting around you will affect image contrast and appearance. An
additional sensor on the
Spyder4Pro detects changes to surrounding light and adapts the display luminance
accordingly.
