What other say:
"Since two of my tests were done with my artwork copy setup I was able to compare the before and after calibrations with the original art. There was no question that the changes made by the SpyderCheckr calibration process brought the on-screen image closer to the original than the uncalibrated capture." Stan Sholik
"Monitor calibration and profiling, along with printer profiling, have become an essential part of my workflow, assuring that the rendered image I see is correctly displayed and printed. With SpyderCheckr I am now able to create accurate calibrations for my own camera bodies, which assures that Lightroom or Photoshop will read my RAW files and interpret the color data with the truest color rendition. What I love about SpyderCheckr is how the workflow integrates seamlessly into Lightroom. There is nothing new to learn! Plus, calibrations can be generated in less than five minutes following simple instructions and the intuitive user interface. I’m impressed by SpyderCheckr’s 48-patch color chart, which includes eight patches just for skin tones, as much of my work is shooting portraits. In addition, SpyderCheckr allows me to easily modify the camera calibration to suit my particular preferences, though that has not yet been necessary. Given how easy SpyderCheckr is to use and how terrific the results are, there is hardly a reason not to use it!" John Blaustein Photography | ||
