Spyder Utility Features
Usual Setting
Spyder Utility will run at all times; DO NOT remove or shutdown the Utility, or you
may adversely effect your color.
The Purpose of This Step
Spyder Utility needs to monitor your system to assure that the correct display profiles
and calibrations are in use. If you choose Real-Time Ambient Light Monitoring, then
the Utility will continuously check your lighting conditions as well.
The Long Answer
Spyder Utility is installed as a Startup Item on your computer. It has a number of
functions. These include:
Assuring that your display profiles and their matching calibration data has been
loaded at startup for each calibrated display.
Checking at frequent intervals that the correct profiles and calibration data are
still in use.
Checking that the more stringent standards of Spyder Certification
on any displays where Certification has been chosen.
Continuously monitoring Ambient Light levels if the Real-Time Ambient Light
feature has been activated.
