There are three main versions of Spectra — Express 
, Standard
, and Professional 
. The Express version is
less complex and may just have the features that you want. Spectra Standard has a few more features, and the Professional version has the
complete list of features available.
StudioPlus also offers two additional Spectra products, designed for specific studio
operations — OnLocation – Depreciated 2023 
and Enterprise – Depreciated for Access 2023 
.
Spectra OnLocation (available only as an add-on to Spectra Professional) is designed for studios that need to capture images
and data while away from the studio and then return to merge their data
back together. Spectra Enterprise is designed for companies with more than one
studio location.
Visit the Spectra Overview page on our website for more information on these products.
