Problem:
The SpyderGallery does not find the Spyder sensor, even if the Spyder
is connected to the computer and the SpyderGallery Desktop is running
on the computer:
Solution:
Please make sure your mobile device (Android / iOS) running the
SpyderG...
Please check you are using a Spyder3 or higher to communicate with an
iOS device, or a Spyder4 or higher to communicate with an Android
device. Next ensure that your mobile device and your computer are both
connected to the same section of the same WLAN, ...
This is accomplished by taking an OS-level screen-shot while the image
is on screen, and calibration is enabled; and then retrieving that
screen-shot from the device's image library. You may want to use a
simple graphics app to crop the resulting screensh...
The SpyderGALLERY app is the industry leading mobile application that
allows you to show your clients, family and friends calibrated images
anywhere.
Below are instructions to get you started:
You must download the SpyderGALLERY app from the iTunes sto...
Mobile devices such as laptops, tablets and phones are viewed under a
wide range of light levels. Ambient light adjustment of the device at
the time of calibration would only be of value if such a device were
to remain in the same controlled light environ...
SpyderGallery has been tested for compatibility on devices set to
non-English languages, and no problems have been detected. So while
the SpyderGallery app itself is always in English, it can be used
successfully under many other language settings.
I realize it's not reasonable to expect perfect spot color matches on
a mobile device, even when calibrated with SpyderGallery.
But I am noticing that a few of my client's corporate colors are
significantly off color, mostly in terms of saturation, in...
The color corrections that SpyderGallery produces should increase the
consistency between mobile devices.
The goal of SpyderGallery is display an image, viewed at an
appropriate brightness level for the current lighting, in most any
situation, in a manner that will be perceptually similar to what a
calibrated display under a controlled lighting condition w...
Mobile devices are designed to be used under a range of light levels,
and are typically adjusted (or even auto-adjusted) to different
brightness levels for different conditions. To improve the color
matching with your mobile device, you may wish to tur...
SPYDERGALLERY TARGET'S A WHITEPOINT OF 6500K ON ANDROID DEVICES. THE
RESULT IMPROVES THE WARMNESS/COOLNESS OF ANDROID SCREENS, WHICH TEND
TO VARY BETWEEN MANUFACTURERS OR DEVICES. FOR IOS DEVICES, A
WHITEPOINT IN THE RANGE OF 6500K IS ALREADY PROVIDED, SO...
Given the more limited color gamut of mobile devices, SpyderGallery
is designed to offer two different ways of displaying your images. The
Saturation option offers the best color saturation throughout the
image, but if large areas of a similar, highly ...
Yes, there is a gamma correction function in SpyderGallery, that can usually be seen when flashing from uncalibrated to calibrated state, even with a grayscale image.
Every pixel in your image is being adjusted to be a more accurate
representation of the intended color, based on the profile which was
made when you read your mobile screen with the Spyder.
Colors are often displayed as more saturated than they actually should
be on the small gamut of a mobile device, calibration reduces the
saturation to make them more accurate. The calibrated view should be a
closer match to a calibrated desktop display th...
Desktop displays can reproduce more saturated colors than most mobile
devices. Colors outside the range of your mobile screen simply cannot
be displayed correctly on that device.
SpyderGallery is changing the color of every pixel in your image in
real time. This is an intensive process, and takes a split second to
process. On older, slower devices this lag will be more noticeable
than on newer, faster devices. The lag can be elimi...
Images imported through iTunes® will be automatically converted as
they are imported. Images from the web are typically in sRGB space
already, and are ready for calibrated viewing. Images you are emailing
to your mobile device should ideally be converted ...
Apps are isolated from one another in mobile OSes. This means that
unless the OS itself supports a given feature, it is only available in
the App where it is developed. Until other developers build Datacolor
color management into their Apps, those apps wi...
No need to import images into a SpyderGallery-specific library. Just
continue importing images into the OS library, and SpyderGallery will
access them automatically.
For general use, the native color on your mobile device may be quite
acceptable. But to assure maximum consistency and accuracy, viewing
images in a color-managed environment is important. This way you can
assure that what you see on your mobile devices i...
