Spyder3Studio SR
A complete color management system from screen to print, Spyder3Studio consists of the vendor's top-rated monitor calibration solution Spyder3Elite with the Spyder3 colorimeter, and the Spyder3Print solution with the Datacolor Spectrocolorimeter and base. Their combined capabilities offer a powerful set of features, more than ample for the most demanding studio, including fine art photographers.
Comment
The user interface for the Spyder3 generation of software has been designed from a photographer's point of view. Spyder3Studio deals in a pictorial way with gamma and color temperature control, showing actual images for evaluation by eye. This is also a logical approach, since the product's whole purpose is to create interchangeability between devices -- so that we can trust our eyes once again.
Aimed at all kinds of professional users of photography, Spyder3Studio proves that there does not have to be a trade-off between precision and speed, as well as showing that these benefits can be obtained at reasonable cost in a complete color management system.
