Profile Overview

SpyderPro:

Spyder:

As a last step, you can review the profile Spyder / SpyderPro created for your display, compare your profile with standard color gamuts (color spaces) and generate a report with a detailed summary (SpyderPro only).

1. CIE Color Space Display

   - The colorful shape in the center of the graph is the CIE color space, which represents the entire spectrum visible to the human eye.
   
   

2. Profile Comparison

   - In the Profile dropdown ("Choose profiles to graph") your current display profile is selected by default.
   - This dropdown-list contains all display profiles created with the any Spyder calibration software.
   - SpyderPro only: If you want to compare to other profiles, select them from the 2nd dropdown.
   
   

3. Color Space Comparison

   - To compare to a standard color gamut, click the radio button next to the one you want to compare to.
   - A color gamut is a standardized color space with which you can work with.
   - While AdobeRGB is the standard for photographic work, graphics on the web work best with sRGB.
   - P3 is the abbreviation for DCI-P3, common standard for digital cinema and wide-gamut displays.
   - Rec. 709, Rec. 2020 (in SpyderPro only) and NTSC are standards for video.
   - ACES AP1, ACES AP0 and DaVinci (intermediate) are video post-production color spaces (all in SpyderPro only).
   
   

4. Information - in SpyderPro only

   - This report displays all the absolute values of the selected calibration. You can compare between the "Measured", the "Calibrated" and the "Uncalibrated" values.
   - “Brightness” is measured in Candelas (cd/m2).
   - “White Point” is displayed in CIE xyY coordinates.
   - “Primaries” displays the CIE xyY coordinates of the Red, Green and Blue primary colors.
   - “DeltaE (Lab) displays the DeltaE measurement from the target white point at 100% and 50% gray.
   - “Gamma” displays the uncalibrated, target and calibrated gamma curve.
   - The Delta E deviation for the White Point and the 50% Gray of your calibration shouldn't exceed 3.0 to be considered a “good” calibration.
   - If you need a lower deviation tolerance, use the “Advanced Settings” options in the preferences menu.
   
   

5. Print Report - in SpyderPro only

   - This will open a new window to print a one-page overview containing the values inside the "Information" area and the visual color gamut comparison.
    

6. Calibrate another display

   - Click the button to restart the calibration setup process for any additional connected displays or recalibrate the current display.
