Datacolor Intros SpyderCheckr and SpyderCheckr Pro at Photokina


 Datacolor SpyderCheckr

This week at Photokina, Datacolor introduced SpyderCheckr, a new color reference tool that allows photographers to obtain consistent, accurate color within a standard RAW processing workflow, perform in-camera white balance, create custom camera calibration and record known color references.

SpyderCheckr features 48 color patches in a wide range of spectrally neutral colors and user-friendly profiling software that allows photographers to achieve consistent color control.

Also introduced is the Datacolor SpyderCheckrPro, a bundle package that includes the SpyderCheckr along with the Datacolor SpyderCube for capturing custom white balance, neutrality data from multiple light sources and correcting highlight and shadow details. This pocket size RAW calibration tool eliminates the need for traditional 18% gray cards and includes a Black Trap for shadow detail control for absolute black and white. Read more
