Datacolor has announced the Spyder X2 Elite and X2 Ultra, its next generation of color calibration tools for displays that delivers precision color calibration in less than two minutes.
If there’s one thing that is consistent across the photography world, it is the never-ending list of gear and accessories we end up spending our money on. Between the cameras, lenses, lights, and grip, the numbers add up fast, but what’s most important (besides getting the shot in focus) is making sure the colors look exactly the way we want them to. This is where the new Datacolor Spyder Checkr Photo comes in clutch.
Datacolor has announced an expansion to its Spyder Checkr product line with the addition of the new Spyder Checkr Photo, a color reference tool that provides a fast, easy way to ensure accurate and consistent color from the first shot captured.
Datacolor is famous for helping creatives bring out the best colors in their work. And right now, they’re giving you the opportunity to save up to $80 on the Datacolor Spyder and ColorReader range. But don’t wait around! This special is only on offer until December 3rd or while stocks last.
Datacolor has announced the ColorReader EZ, a new portable tool that's designed to simplify matching, selecting, and coordinating colors.
Earlier this week, Datacolor packaged three of it most popular image and monitor calibration tools into a new bundle for photographers called the SpyderX Photo Kit, and they'll be offering it at a steep discount "while supplies last."
Datacolor today launched its latest color calibration tool for monitors. Called the SpyderX, it's Datacolor's "fastest, most accurate, and easiest to use color calibration tool" -- "the best Spyder ever."
Color management company Datacolor has just announced Spyder5, a new line of devices for making sure the color seen on your monitors is accurate to ensure that your photos look the same across screens and match your prints.
The excellent deals just keep on rolling. We've never seen discounts hang on this long, but are more than happy they're sticking around. If you've been wanting something new to freshen up your photography or videography now that we've transitioned to spring, you're in luck. There's probably something to help you flex your creative muscles featured below.
We've officially crossed over into spring here in the northern hemisphere, and just like the winter weather in many places, the good deals just won't let up.
Since using my first pen tablet over a decade ago, I found that working with display tablets provided an extra level of precision to my work since I could see exactly where my pen strokes were connecting on the screen. This let me be more precise and creative with my edits, but most of these tablets were either incredibly expensive or overly large. The $1,099 Huion Kamvas Pro 19 solves both these problems.
There's no denying that in the last few years, we've seen a veritable explosion of pen and display tablets from competing companies. At this stage in the competitive game, the hardest part for creatives has been figuring out what makes one tablet better or different than another at each budget level.
DxO PhotoLab and FilmPack Version 7 promise to bring improved and more powerful editing tools as well as a more personalized workflow.
Datacolor's Spyder Checkr Video is a new color reference tool that promises to allow videographers and filmmakers to calibrate the color of one or more cameras, lenses, and sensors before shooting to make post-production workflows more efficient.
Pen display tablets have been getting better and more affordable, so it makes sense that all-in-one devices like the Huion Kamvas Studio 16 would follow the same path. But what makes this device a little different is it's a pro pen tablet made for designers, illustrators, and photographers to help them get their art created quickly and easily while also being a fully functional Windows PC.
BenQ has announced a pair of new 27-inch SW-series monitors aimed at photographers, including the SW272U and SW272Q. The new monitors share many features, although they differ in resolution and offer slightly different shading hoods.
Photographers use their monitors even more than their cameras, probably by a large margin. Even the best monitors should be calibrated to ensure that the colors users see are accurate. However, calibration can be expensive and tedious. TruHu aims to make the calibration process very easy and much more affordable.
SmallRig seems to have taken the reviews of the previous generation of its COB lighting to heart and made some significant improvements to both the design and performance of the new RC 450D (Daylight) and 450B (BiColor) COB LED lights.
Do you own a monitor calibration device? If you do you can upgrade to Datacolor SpyderX Elite for only $149.99 today (originally $269.99). That’s an unbelievable $120 savings directly from the manufacturer. But hurry—this amazing offer ends June 24, 2022!
There’s a lot of technology and terminology involved in photography. So, it’s no wonder that it’s easy to get tripped up when buying presents for photographers. And not just that: There are literally thousands upon thousands of photography products out there. Tyranny of choice, much?
If you've been using an Apple Silicon Mac with an external display for photo and video editing, you may have noticed a few issues. Whether it's ultra-wide monitors not displaying correctly, calibration software not working right, or high-end monitors displaying in YCrCb mode instead of RGB, Apple Silicon still has a bunch of issues with color-accurate monitors.
One of the most important tools in a photographer's toolkit is something many may be surprised by - a color-accurate monitor. But why are they so expensive, and why should a photographer spend so much on one?
Summer is here! For many, this is a time to go road tripping, sunbaking, hiking, holidaying, watching fireworks, and eating ice cream. For some, it’s a time to watch others do the above – from behind a camera. We call those people photographers.
Do you have someone in your life who happens to love photography? Perhaps you are looking for a way to make them feel extra special after what’s been a tough year for all of us?
One of the most important items a photographer can have is a top-notch display on which to edit their images (or video). The BenQ PD3420Q is the company's latest ultra-wide, and it promises a huge amount of screen real-estate for an affordable price: a multitasker's dream.
With the release of the new-and-improved PhotoVue SW271C, BenQ is once again hoping to win over photographers with impressive color accuracy and targeted photo editing features at a reasonable price. But unlike the original SW271, the SW271C is entering a much more competitive marketplace, at a price that isn't quite so "reasonable" anymore.
In the age of digital photography, your monitor is as important as the camera you shoot with or the lenses you use. But as more high-end options hit the market every year, the line between "worth it" and "overkill" is starting to blur. Dell's new 32-inch 4K HDR PremierColor mini-LED monitor, an elite display by any standard, is helping to draw that line a little bit clearer.
On January 15th, 2008, Steve Jobs pulled a MacBook Air out of a manila envelope and changed laptop computers forever. Blink and you might have missed it: the instant when an entire industry shifted to accommodate a new breed of device that made more sense to more people. And last month, Apple had the audacity to do it again.
When Dell decided to bring back the XPS 17, I was skeptical. Most 17-inch laptops fail to give you enough performance to justify the drop in portability; what you end up with is either too big, not powerful enough, or both. That's what makes the XPS 17 so special. This is a 17-inch laptop built with creative professionals in mind.
We're a couple of days away from Black Friday 2018, and both camera gear companies and retailers are slashing prices to provide the industry with some of the biggest discounts of the year. We're putting together a list of some of the sweetest deals out there for your shopping benefit.

Datacolor today announced Spyder5CAPTURE PRO, a new calibration bundle that's geared towards pro photographers. The tools in the pack allow you to optimize your photos from shooting them through post-processing them.
These days, most photographers spend way more time staring at a computer screen than peering through a viewfinder. Despite this, we sure do spend a lot more talking about lenses and cameras than widescreen monitors. Perhaps that's because editing tends to be the far more tedious part of the job. With a little investment though, you can make those late nights pouring over the day's images just a little bit more comfortable.
