Professional Photographers, Photography Studios and Professional users of all kinds.
Third Generation Spyder Technology
The Spyder3 colorimeter is based on a state-of-the-art optical design, with the industry's only 7 detector color engine and largest light aperture, providing unrivaled performance. In conjunction with the patented filter array and embedded ambient light sensor, Spyder3 provides industry-leading performance for the precision calibration of LCD, CRT, projector and notebook displays.
Elegant Form and Function
A unique fusion of design excellence and functionality, Spyder3 offers a smaller footprint, embedded ambient light sensor, and LED indicator. Spyder3's desktop cradle can be used for storage, ambient light monitoring, or tripod attachment. A beautiful addition to your desktop or studio, Spyder3 improves any color workflow.
Designed for Photographers
Spyder3 increases light sensitivity 400%. It also features the largest screen sample area or aperture in the industry resulting in improved accuracy on LCD screens and a faster calibration time. Three superior attachment methods - large area suction cup, counterweight, or tripod mount - can be used interchangeably to suit the needs of any photographer. Building on a foundation of 35 years of color science excellence, Datacolor designed the Spyder3 for the way photographers work.
New Super-Fast ReCAL Option
ReCAL reduces full calibration time by more than half allowing you to quickly and easily re-calibrate on a more frequent basis or before any important shoot or post-production project.
Intelligent Ambient Light Control
Embedded with a next-generation, high precision sensor, Spyder3 automatically measures the ambient light within a room for a new level of precision calibration. Spyder3 provides you with options to change either your studio lighting or display profile if the ambient light changes. Maintaining a history log of lighting conditions, Spyder3 can intelligently discern true lighting changes from random fluctuations caused by studio flashes or shadows.
Unlimited Calibration Targets
Unlimited, user-defined choices for white point, gamma, white luminance, and black luminance gives you full control of your digital color workflow. This means that discerning professionals can tune their calibration to optimize shadow detail, studio light or lightbox matching, and destination output device.
Custom Black and White Luminance Control
An essential tool for studio matching, this tool allows precision control of monitor black and monitor white luminance. This means that professionals can achieve the ultimate in calibration accuracy and screen matching.
New L-Star Calibration Option
Using patented L-Star Technology as an alternative to typical gamma settings, you can generate unique tonal response curves for open shadows and detailed highlights. Especially useful for photographers using L-Star workflows.
New Expert Console
The true pro's choice, the Expert Console puts all of the calibration parameters and actions in one comprehensive window. This means that power users can by-pass the step-by-step wizard and get right down to business.
New Display Assistant
Allows you to enter all of the model-specific information for each of your displays and stores them, saving you time on all future calibrations.
StudioMatch Assistant
Guides you through calibrating all of your studio displays to a single calibration target. The Assistant accounts for each display's white and black luminance as well as studio light conditions. This means that you can rely on consistent and accurate color and luminance on all the displays in your studio.
New SpyderCertification Option
Enforces consistent calibration standards and settings for all subscribed displays. Warning appears when a display's calibration is out of date or incorrect. Any screen with the SpyderCertified icon is assured of being current and accurate.

I am glad that you contacted me when you discovered that the mouse that I ordered was no longer available in the color that I wanted and am very impressed with the personal approach that you and PowerMax have taken even though PowerMax is an online vendor. Even though I was not able to purchase from PowerMax on this occasion, I will certainly buy from you in the future. It's nice to see that there are still people out there that care about their customers.
