How to use the Datacolor SpyderCUBE to Set White Balance and Contrast

The SpyderCUBE is one of the tools in the four-tool SpyderX Capture Pro kit. In this video, I explain how to use the SpyderCUBE to set white balance, white point, shadows and black point.
Datacolor sent one of their brand-new SpyderX Capture Pro kits for me to test in my photography business. Check out the other Datacolor videos on our channel to watch detailed hands-on reviews of each of the tools in SpyderX Capture Pro kit - Spyder X Elite Colorimeter, SpyderCUBE, SpyderLENSCAL and SpyderCHECKR color calibration chart.

Question: I don't have cube but have the spydercheckr swatches. Can that be used instead of the cube? after all it's got the white, gray, and black in the squares

Thanks for this video.

Please explain how to do this in Photoshop Camera Raw filter as in photoshop it doesn't shows the shadow highlights & white values in percentage , it shows the rgb numeric values.

[@DesertCookie]

You can easily convert these values. After all, RGB 8bit is 256 different values (0-255); you can basically multiply or divide by 2.5 to get your results.
For instance, his 5% brightness for the shadows would be around 12-13 for you.

Thank you.

What should your camera's white balance be set at when you're using these data color tools?

[@andylv1987]

Just shot in RAW, not in JPEG.
