Benefits of spyder HD
Control your Capture
First off the shiny metal carry-cased Spyder HD delivers the perfect portable device for setting white and grey points for stills and videos. The SpyderCUBE is a highly pocketable version of a grey card but avoids you having to worry about it becoming creased, stained and worthless when compared to conventional foldable cloth or paper cards.
Control the Colour
When you need to do more than simply set white balance and control contrast for your shots but instead control all the colours across your shoot’s spectrum, allowing you to get that dress, skin tones and any other important hues just right, then the SpyderCUBE’s big brother the SpyderCHECKR comes in to its own.
Controlling the Retouch
Once you’ve gone to the trouble of removing colour casts and linearising all your images to appear to be in the same lighting conditions you’d be rather defeating the object if you now start retouching and adjusting colours on a non-colour managed screen. Fittingly the SpyderHD comes with the latest top of the range SpyderELITE HD screen calibrator as part of the system.
When showing your work
Ignoring how your images may be printed, frequently the most critical environment (certainly for any Wedding Photographer) is the final viewing with the clients. If what appears on screen doesn’t tally with expectations you’ve a lot of back-tracking and persuasion ahead of you. Having already used the SpyderELITE HD within the kit to calibrate your retouching screens you can feel assured that colours here will look spot on but courtesy of the accompanying SpyderWEB holster and calibration DVDs or Blu-ray discs you can now also calibrate the largest of TV or Video playback displays to make sure your stills and video colours match superbly as well.
