The Spyder Cube is not a sci-fi B movie about alien arachnid domination but is in fact an innovative new product from DataColor that can enable custom white balance creation and make highlight and shadow adjustment easier in any RAW conversion software. It has several features that make it stand apart from the usual cards used for white balances in the past, and it fits in your pocket. It can be either hung, stood on a surface or mounted on tripod so for a start it is easier to physically place in a scene. It�s features are also tuned to the tools found in RAW conversion software. The 18% grey faces can be used as a reference for picking the white balance and for mid-tone correction, the white faces and chrome ball are used for controlling highlights and the black face and black trap (a hole in the black face) are used for setting the black point. To use the Spyder Cube place it in shot with the black face lowest and towards the lens with both grey/white sides visible. Take the shot and then open the image in your RAW converter. Use your white balance (sometimes called grey balance) eye dropper to click on whichever of two grey areas is lighter in your shot to set colour temperature and tint. Then adjust exposure and brightness using both the histogram, the scene and the image of the Cube optimize your adjustments. Lastly, if your RAW tool has a Black Point eye dropper then you can click the black trap area or if your software has a black point slider you can adjust the black so there is some visible difference between the black face and the black trap.
