New – iPhoneography App – SpyderGallery – Calibrate Your iPad

Tablet color can be attractive, but lacking in accuracy and consistency. The Datacolor SpyderGallery™ was designed to help photographers manage the color output on the iPad® display. This app provides an easy-to-use program to calibrate the display and assure that colors are consistent throughout the entire workflow process. Just download the free app from the iTunes iOS App Store® and follow the simple instructions to download SpyderGallery™ to your desktop and iPad®.

"For photographers who use the iPad as a portable portfolio tool, SpyderGallery is a critical component to their photo gear to ensure work is being displayed correctly," said Knut Fenner, vice president of Imaging Color Solutions for Datacolor. "Those wanting to display images while on-the-go, whether for professional or personal use, will no longer need to compromise color accuracy for the convenience of the iPad."

"I’ve been using Datacolor products for over 10 years and the same calibration perfection I get with my monitor I now get on my iPad; that’s amazing," said Sarah Silver, N.Y.-based fashion and beauty photographer.

Use your Spyder3 product to calibrate the iPad®, and SpyderGallery™ to view your images using your custom iPad® color profile. Then relax – you now have consistent color throughout your entire photo gallery!

A Spyder3™ colorimeter is required to use the calibration component of SpyderGallery™. If you do not already have access to a Spyder™ click here.
