Accurate RAW colour reference

The Datacolor Spyder Cube SC200 is a compact reference tool designed for photographers who shoot in RAW and want consistent colour without trial-and-error adjustments. It supplies the light data needed to set white balance, exposure, black level and brightness from a single reference shot taken under the same lighting as the subject.

Works with any RAW converter

The cube provides a chrome ball for catchlight analysis, white faces for highlight definition, spectrally neutral 18% grey faces for colour temperature and midtones, and a black trap for absolute black reference. These surfaces give the software all the information it requires to build a preset that can be applied across an entire series, whether the workflow is RAW or JPG.

Replaces manual grey-card workflows

Photographers who currently rely on separate grey cards or iterative slider adjustments gain a single, multi-faceted tool that captures highlight, midtone and shadow data simultaneously. The jump is worth it when shooting on location or in the studio under mixed or changing light where repeated manual measurements would slow the session down.
