Keen photographers, having got their perfect image on screen, will then need to take into account the combination of printer, ink and media to reproduce it on paper. By the way, as the calibration of monitors drift with time it is necessary to recalibrate at intervals. One caveat is that where there is only one graphics card with two monitors connected, there can only be one profile so you have to decide which monitor will be calibrated and be the “reference” one.Īmong the advanced features of the Spyder 3 is the facility to take ambient light into account as this will have an effect on how you perceive the on-screen image. On completion of the cycle, during which the sensor measures the actual intensity of series of different levels of grey, red, green and blue a profile is created which will be used by the computer card when the machine is next rebooted. Then, once the software has been installed, the sensor unit is plugged into one of the (powered) USB ports on the computer and then placed roughly at the centre of the monitor’s screen and the test cycle initiated.
The Spyder 3 Pro is a colorimeter that works with both CRT and LCD displays on both PCs and Macs to measure the colours of the display, with a series of intensity step, in order to provide an ICC (International Color Consortium) profile for your display.ĭuring software installation a number of questions, such as whether the monitor is a CRT or LCD and what is the required White Point, must be answered (there is help and guidance).
