Depending on what options you select, it will give you different options to calibrate. You specify what controls your monitor has such as : brightness, contrast, backlight, color temp, RGB sliders, kelvin values, gamma, etc. It measures the colors your monitor is showing, compairs it to the known value of what the colors should be, and generates a LUT (look up table) to store in your graphics card that gets loaded at startup, so it always shows the corect colors.ģ7% Smaller than the Spyder 2, 29% more accurate, 246% larger measuring area, 29% faster, and 64% faster at recalibration, so you can now recalibrate in roughly a minute time.Īll in all, I'm pretty happy with it, if you're interested in pictures, and before/after shots of what it can do, check out the manufacturers siteĪll in all, I'm very impressed, my current profile looks even better than what i got with the spyder 2, so i can trust what i see to come out on prints even more now.

Simple, your screen was not profiled, so what you thought you saw on the screen wasn't what colors were really there. But what happens when you fire up photoshop or gimp or some other image editor, work on an image, and then go to print it.just to have it come out too dark, too light, too red, too green.etc. ![]() Well yeah, because your eyes adjust to it, as long as it's relatively close to good, so you think its good. "But my monitor looks fine" you're saying. These are usually set to display the web standard color profile, sRGB pretty well, but suck for anything else. Same brightness, same contrast, same back light intensity, same color temperature settings. LCDs/CRTs/Televisions come from the factory all set pretty much the same way. Now for the review.Ī short introduction to the spyer 3 Pro and why you want one if you're an artist or photographer: ![]() So after battling UPS customer service on the phone for 3 days, I finally get my Spyder 3 today, was supposed to be delivered friday, for some reason they lost it friday and had to reschedule to monday.whatever I hate UPS. ![]()
