Spyder Checkr
Spyder Checkr comes with 48 spectrally engineered color patches that include the standard 24 sRGB color space, plus expanded color reference patches and targets for skin tones. Use the Spyder Checkr color target card as a color reference in your photo shoot and Spyder Checkr’s software will automatically color correct your images through an HSL preset in Adobe Lightroom Classic® Adobe Camera RAW®, or Hasselblad Phocus® for seamless color correction.
- Spyder Checkr calibration software analyzes the results of your reference photo and instantly creates a HSL preset which you then apply in your workflow with Adobe Lightroom Classic, Adobe Camera RAW or Hasselblad Phocus, for color correction.
- Spyder Checkr includes a robust color reference target. The 48 spectrally engineered color patches include the standard 24 sRGB color space plus additional color targets for beautifully accurate skin tones, medium saturation color and near-white tints and black tones, for a more dynamic range.
- Color temperature and exposure can vary from shot to shot and from scene to scene. Spyder Checkr’s neutral grey target patch and grey ramp can be used to create better continuity between scenes and cameras. Use the neutral gray patch for in-camera white balance or use it while editing.
- Durable self-casing construction allows for easy transport and field use with the tripod mount.
- You can mount your Spyder Cube (link to cube) on top of Spyder Checkr to use these products in a perfect combination.
- Track the light exposure of your Spyder Checkr with the Fade Checkr light-sensitive patch to know when it is time for Spyder Checkr Replacement 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.
- Color target cards are replaceable for continued accuracy over time, cost-savings and limited waste.

Why Color Calibrate Your Camera?
- Cameras can vary how they capture color. Getting accurate, consistent color from scene colors to captured colors can be challenging and time-consuming. Spyder Checkr 24 provides highly accurate HSL color corrections for your camera, ensuring color accuracy and consistency.
- Color can vary from camera to camera, as well as from manufacturer to manufacturer, so getting accurate, consistent color from multiple cameras for a single project complicates your workflow, but the easy-to-use Spyder Checkr 24 lets you calibrate all your cameras, so camera-to-camera matching, accuracy and printability are easy.
- Color can also vary from lens to lens attached to the same camera body. The fast and easy-to-use Spyder Checkr 24 lets you calibrate all your camera lens combinations to ensure precise color across all your lenses.
- Color temperature and exposure can vary from shot to shot, as well as from scene to scene, which can result in inaccurate, inconsistent scene data for all your captures. Spyder Checkr 24 makes it easy to eliminate these issues with a neutral grey patch and gray ramp reference on the reverse side which you can use to adjust camera settings as well as for post-production controls for editing.
