Description of Datacolor Spyder

• Datacolor Spyder is for creative souls who want to feel confident that the images you capture, create, edit, and view on your screen are reproduced as color-accurately as possible. Manually calibrating your screen (laptop/desktop) is the first important step to making this a reality. It ensures a color-accurate starting point for editing so you can express your creative vision and share your work, both digitally and in print, as precisely as possible.
  
  Although screens and displays may be calibrated from the factory, it's important that you calibrate your screen. You should calibrate your screen every two weeks and before any color-critical work. With Datacolor Spyder, calibration takes only about 90 seconds.
  
  Datacolor's exclusive Device PreviewTM Beta feature allows you to get an impression of how your photographic images might look on other devices without needing to use the actual devices. You can also use this feature to soft-proof how your prints will look for a specific printer model, paper, and ink as well as print service provider using an ICC printer profile.
  

  Should I choose Datacolor Spyder or Datacolor SpyderPro

  
  The two devices are similar in many ways, but there are differences. Therefore, we have also created a comparison chart, which you can find under the images above. The big difference is the screen's "Luminance." Newer screens tend to have high Luminance, and that's where you can only use the Pro model. But look at the comparison chart and choose the right one for you.
