To calibrate, you'll want to remove the cap off of the colorimeter and place the colorimeter on your screen – the software will guide you on where to place the device – and use the cap as a counterbalance to keep the unit from sliding off of your display.Īt the end of the process, a display profile is created, and you can apply this calibrated profile to your screen to get the most out of a color-calibrated display in your workflow.įor those who want to understand what is happening with their displays, the included Spyder Utility software reads your screen and gives you a detailed analysis of your display's gamut for color saturation, tone response, brightness and contrast, white point at different presets, screen uniformity for brightness and color at different areas of your display and color accuracy.
Once that's done, the calibration process takes five minutes to complete, and the wizard will walk you through each step.
