||
Full Screen Calibration Comparison (SpyderProof™) Provides a large, full screen image in which to compare before & after calibration images. |
||
Colorimeter Allows the user to choose and measure color values (such as RGB) on a display to understand how well the display will perform when rendering a certain color. |
||
Softproofing and DevicePreview™ Simulate the look of an image on another device without having to upload to it, or in print based on inks/paper used to avoid color "surprises." |
||
Side-by-Side Display Matching (StudioMatch™) StudioMatch and SpyderTune allow you to create the best consistency between displays of different physical capabilities and ages. SpyderTune is used on multiple displays on one computer, StudioMatch is used on multiple displays on one or multiple computers. |

Detailed Calibration Information Shows data on calibration results with measurements for detailed information on the performance of your display. |
Calibrating your monitor is fast, accurate and so easy.
Step 1
Download, install and launch the Spyder software. You’ll be prompted to answer a few
questions about your display and workflow which will be saved for future calibrations.
Step 2
Place the Spyder device on your display within the outline and let the Spyder software go to work.
Step 3
When calibration is completed and your colors have been adjusted to an accurate starting point, remove the sensor from your display; you’ll be prompted to save the calibration settings.
Now you can get editing and bring your creative vision to life.

StudioMatch™ provides side-by-side monitor calibration to ensure consistent and accurate color reproduction across multiple connected monitors with most monitor types.
True color by light of day … and night
Room Light Monitoring uses an ambient light sensor to measure your room light throughout the day allowing you to adjust your display brightness and contrast to ideal levels. The software can either warn you to recalibrate or do it automatically using custom profiles based on light level.
Calibrate anytime, anywhere.
SpyderPro is compact (just 3 in. x 3 in.), portable and easy-to-use when you’re on the go. So go ahead; lean into life as a digital nomad.
