We’ve teamed up with Datacolor to give you the opportunity to get your hands on a SpyderCHECKR colour chart.

Frances Sunshine Hopkins has been chosen as the lucky winner. Congratulations!

Datacolor’s SpyderCHECKR helps you achieve picture perfect colour right from the very start of your photography work flow by ensuring that your colours are accurate from the moment of capture, giving you more control in the print and edit stages.

The SpyderCHECKR calibration software works by analysing the results of a test photo shot with the colour chart and creating an instant custom profile which you can then apply in your workflow with RAW import software including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Hasselblad Phocus, for automatic colour correction. The SpyderCHECKR helps you colour calibrate your camera, perform precision in-camera white balance, record known-colour samples, and obtain consistent accurate colour within a standard RAW processing workflow. 

How to enter the competition

To be in with a chance of winning the SpyderCHECKR, all you have to do is follow Photography Blog on Twitter or visit the Photography Blog Facebook page between 6th March and 3rd April 2018 using the form below.
