Datacolor SpyderX Elite

As the window to your digital photography, your monitor is a tool you need to be able to trust. If your monitor color isn’t accurate, you won’t see true-to-life colors, highlight and shadow details, not to mention correct skin tones. And if you’re looking at an image that isn’t true, how can you edit it properly, or get your screen to match your prints? You can’t. Spyder5 will solve all of that in minutes.

SpyderX®ELITE – Expert color accuracy solution

• Software designed for calibration perfectionists with dual mode operation – wizard and expert mode, unlimited calibration settings, and advanced gray balancing.
• “Before and After” evaluation of your calibration results using your own images in full screen mode to focus on the details important to you.
• Display Analysis feature lets you evaluate and compare the performance of all of your laptop and desktop monitors.
• Multiple Monitor setup for laptop, desktop and front projector displays

Why Calibrate?

• Monitors display colors differently.
  Monitors don’t come color calibrated and their colors shift over time.    
   
• You can’t depend on your eyes.
  You can’t trust your eyes to adjust your monitor correctly. Factors such as fatigue and time of day effect how your eyes see color.    
   
• Image colors are not true to life.
  Often your photos don’t look right on your monitor– skin tones are off, whites aren’t pure, blues look cyan.    
   
• Unnecessary editing time.
  If your monitor isn’t displaying your photo’s true colors, you will waste unnecessary time editing .    
   
• Prints don’t match your monitor.
  With an un-calibrated monitor, the colors in your printed photos won’t match what you see on screen.
