Datacolor has just released several color calibration products designed for a wide range of digital creatives, including those working in photography, videography, content creation, digital design, and more. Calibrating a monitor allows for a color-accurate starting point for editing, allowing users to express their creative vision, both digitally and in print.
First up is the Spyder Essential Colorimeter, which lets your monitor accurately portray images that you capture, create, edit, and view. The Spyder Essential can calibrate a wide range of monitors, including Wide and Standard gamut LED, OLED, Mini LED, Apple Liquid Retina XDR, and more, optimizing color richness, deep shadows, highlights, and enhanced details. Other added features include Device Preview, which lets users see how their images may look on other devices without needing to use the actual device, plus one-click color calibration presets that can help achieve professional results.
The SpyderPro Advanced Colorimeter improves upon the base colorimeter by adding a High Brightness feature, which allows users to work in even the brightest conditions. Also of note are StudioMatch and SpyderTune. StudioMatch allows for the side-by-side calibration of multiple computers or displays, ensuring consistent accurate color reproduction across multiple connected devices, while SpyderTune lets you adjust white point, gamma, and brightness for greater consistency across multiple displays connected to a single computer.

Datacolor’s last offering, the Spyder Photo and Video Kit, is made for hybrid photographers and videographers looking for complete, accurate color control and streamlined color correction in postproduction. It bundles the necessary tools for precision color control, from capture through editing, including the SpyderPro Advanced Colorimeter, SpyderCUBE RAW, SpyderCheckr Video Color Chart, and SpyderCheckr Photo Color Chart, all of which work together to ensure complete color accuracy.
