SpyderCube™

The RAW-Processing Accelerator

Shooting in RAW mode gives you creative freedom but processing a RAW file is often a long, trial-and-error operation. SpyderCube accelerates RAW processing in providing references to set the white balance, exposure, black level and brightness right from the start. Simply take one reference shot with SpyderCube under the same light condition, adjust, save as preset and apply to the entire series.

Designed for:
Anyone who shoots with a Digital SLR or in RAW mode from amateurs to professionals.
