Consistent Color From Camera to Camera
The 48 patch SpyderCHECKR Target
The 48 patch SpyderCHECKR closes for storage, opens like a book, and stays securely in its fully open position. Each half of the CHECKR has a frame that holds a color target sheet in place. You can open these frames, and invert the color target sheets to display their gray face. This will expose the SpyderCHECKR Gray Target for visual comparisons, or tasks like In-Camera Custom White Balance. The SpyderCHECKR can be used for visual color comparisons, as well as with a number of third party software packages for camera profiling and other tasks. But most commonly, it is used with the SpyderCHECKR software in creating camera calibrations.
SpyderCHECKR’s SpyderCHECKR’s calibration software analyzes the results of your test photo and instantly creates a profile which you then apply in your workflow with RAW import software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom and Hasselblad Phocus, for automatic color correction. The color patches in the left half of the 48 patch SpyderCHECKR represent additional colors targeting several uses. There are six additional skintones, for a total of eight. There are six medium saturation color patches, in the red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow zones, to improve the coverage of the inside of the color gamut. There are three near white tints and three near black tones, for checking color tints and tones at both ends of the dynamic range. And the gray ramp has been increased from the standard 20% steps, to 10% steps, plus extra samples at 5% and 95% to provide a more detailed gray ramp.
Extensive Color Reference Target
The 48 spectrally engineered color patches include the standard 24 sRGB color space plus additional color targets for more precise skin tone, medium saturation color and near-white tints and black tones, for a more dynamic range.
