- Page 2 Step 1 – Take Photos Take at least one photo in RAW format including the Spyder Checkr 24. It can be held or placed in the frame. It is important that the target be lit evenly, ideally from each side at 45 degree angles.
- Page 3 Datacolor Website. After the installation is complete, launch the Spyder Checkr software to begin the activation and registration process. This will automatically start your Warranty. Use the Serial Number included in your Spyder Checkr 24 package to activate your software.
- Page 4 Step 3 – Calibrate Monitor Make sure your monitor is calibrated. Using your SpyderX colorimeter, perform an initial calibration, or recalibration if you haven’t calibrated your monitor within the last 4 weeks.
- Page 5 Step 4 – Adjust in Editing Software Upload the image file onto your computer and open it in your RAW conversion software, such as Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop, or Hasselblad Phocus. Straighten, fix distortion, and crop the target image.
- Page 6 To use directly from Phocus, export the target image as a 16-Bit .tiff file then choose “SpyderCHECKR” as the export destination. Launch the Spyder Checkr software and open the target image. Adjust the patch indicators as needed until the patch grid aligns as close to the center of each patch of the Spyder Checkr 24 image as possible.
- Page 7 Spyder Checkr chart. For example, if you calibrate a Nikon D810 with an 85mm lens for Portrait Mode with the Spyder Checkr 24, a file name such as “D810_85_portrait_24” would be optimal.)
