Datacolor SpyderCUBE, SpyderCHECKR and SpyderCHECKR 24

Photographers tend to take lots of shots in order to get the perfect image. Unfortunately lots of images mostly result in lots of time spent on image editing afterwards. In order to minimize the time spent in front of your computer, start using the clever Datacolor tools already when taking the images. Use SpyderCHECKR and/or SpyderCHECKR 24 as a reference tool for correcting color temperature and tonality and refer to SpyderCUBE for white balance and exposure.

The video explains why using our tools like SpyderCHECKR 24 can actually help you solve common mistakes and avoid problems, thus speed up your editing process.

First of all take shots of your subject including the tools like the SpyderCHECKR 24 and SpyderCUBE at the beginning. They don’t need to be included in all following images as long as the light conditions don’t change. Once you start your image editing, use the colors of SpyderCHECKR 24 in your picture as a reference to color correct all the images from this shoot. This is easy to do and will save you lots of time as you have a reference with consistent and predictable colors from the very beginning.

SpyderCUBE can easily be used in your RAW converter software or any other image editing application for correcting the white point, image exposure, black values and highlights. As with SpyderCHECKR 24, just copy and paste these settings to all images taken under the same conditions. Now, that will speed up your postproduction so you’re done within a very short periode of time.

Use Spyder CHECKR or SpyderCHECKR 24 for color correcting your images and SpyderCUBE to optimize your contrast, as it is a lot better than a standard grey card!
