Datacolor Spyder X2 Photo Studio

Datacolor Spyder X2 Photo Studio Summary

Datacolor® Spyder X2 Photo Studio is the ultimate color management tool kit for photographers, providing all the essentials needed to precisely manage color in your workflow from capture through editing, in any lighting condition. Convenient and costeffective ($217 CAD total savings), Photo Studio includes the Spyder X2 Ultra monitor calibrator, Spyder LensCal, Spyder Cube and Spyder Checkr housed in a protective metal carrying case. A workflow with Photo Studio’s products can look like this: • Start with Spyder LensCal to calibrate your camera with your interchangeable lenses. • Next, use Spyder Cube to set white balance and RAW conversion. Unlike a grey card, Spyder Cube lets you set absolute white and zero black values along with defining your neutral grey. • Then, use Spyder Checkr for next-level color precision with an HSL-Preset you can load and apply to your entire image series via Lightroom or other editing software. • Finally, calibrate your monitor with Spyder X2 Ultra. In under 2 minutes you’ll have an accurately color-calibrated monitor, including most HDR/high-brightness monitors up to 2000 cd/m2.

The ultimate color management photographic tool kit for precision color control from capture through editing. Ensure accurate color throughout your photoshoots, streamlining post-production color correction, saving you time and effort.

Spyder LensCal

• Fast and easy solution for correcting the auto-focus on your interchangeable lens and DSLR body components.
• Delivers razor-sharp auto-focusing using modern DSLR autofocus micro-adjustment technology in your camera’s custom settings.
• Save money and time by checking or calibrating your own lenses and DSLR bodies with accurate and repeatable calibrations, instead of sending your equipment out for service.
• Compact, lightweight, and durable with integrated level and tripod mount.

Spyder Checkr

• Delivers scene light color and intensity data that can be used to adjust camera settings such as in-camera white balance and color temperature.
• 48 spectrally engineered color patches including color targets for more precise skin tone, medium saturation color, and near-white tints and black tones, resulting in a more dynamic range.
• Software analyzes the results of your test photo and instantly creates an HSL-Preset to apply in your workflow with RAW import software such as Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Lightroom® and Hasselblad Phocus®, for automatic color correction.
• Durable self-casing construction for easy transport and field use with tripod mount.
• Track the light exposure of your Spyder Checkr with the Fade Checkr light-sensitive patch to know when it’s time to replace your Checkr cards to ensure continued color accuracy. The Fade Checkr patch is designed to fade from red to yellow after the equivalent of 30 days of full summer sun exposure.

Spyder Cube

• Portable solution for photographers to provide references to set white balance, exposure, zero black level, and brightness right from the start.
• Takes the complexity out of RAW image editing, by using common tools found in color managed applications, such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.
• Easy to use. Simply take a reference shot with the device under the same light conditions as your photos, adjust, save, and apply to entire series of images.
• Unique design allows you to hang the device during a photography shoot or attach it to a tripod mount.
• Constructed of ABS Cycoloy, a hybrid resin that is fade-proof, extremely durable, shock-resistant and spectrally neutral.

Spyder X2 Ultra

• Quickly calibrates your monitor for precise color in under 2 minutes.
• Expanded sensor capability allows for calibration of most HDR/high-brightness monitors up to 2000 cd/m2, making it ideal for photo/video hybrid use, as well as for viewing HDR/high-brightness content on computer-connected TVs and projectors.
• Re-designed software User Interface provides a clean, more concise user experience.
• A higher level of color accuracy for monitors and projectors.
• Novices in calibration will appreciate industry standard -recommended calibration presets while pros can take advantage of advanced calibration features, including Video & Cinema targets (Rec. 709, Rec. 2020).
• Advanced Display Mapping & Analysis, Unlimited Calibration Settings and Studio Match for multiple, side-by-side display calibration.
• Spyder X2 Ultra features room-light monitoring, automatic profile changing for consistent, precise screen color, shadow detail and white balance even if your ambient lighting conditions change.
• Agile design ensures adaptability to changing technologies including the latest screen types, resolutions and gamuts, and software updates across a variety of digital imaging industries.
