Spyder3Elite and Spyder3Pro both offer continuous ambient light monitoring options. These options utilize the Spyder3's embedded ambient light sensor to keep a check on the lighting in your work area. Once you have defined a desired ambient light level, while profiling your display, the Spyder3 Utility can automatically check that your light level has not fallen significantly below, or risen significantly above, this level. If your ambient light leaves the target zone the Spyder3 icon in your Mac menubar or your Windows tooltray will display a red slash. Check with the Utility to see what issue is causing the red slash warning (other issues, such as exceeding your calibration time period will also cause this warning). It will tell you whether your ambient light is too high, or too low, and you can adjust lighting, blinds, shades or curtains as needed to return to your target level. Then use the ambient light measurement command in the Utility to recheck your lighting to see if you have succeeded in reaching the correct zone. You can also choose to launch your main Spyder3 application from the Spyder3 Utility to recalibrate at your new ambient light level, if preferred. | |
