ColorChecker Classic XL
Photo Color Control from Capture to Edit
This is a larger version of the ColorChecker Classic for those shots taken at a greater distance like at an outdoor event, on a larger set or for drone photography.
Measuring an impressive 534 x 375mm, the Classic XL is the second-largest photographic target, with only the ColorChecker Classic Mega overshadowing its size. The XL target is an ideal tool for the following photographic scenarios and more:
Wide shots: landscape, long-distance portraits, travel
Distance photography: interviews, presentations, large sets
Aerial photography: drone photography
ColorChecker targets are ideal for creating custom camera profiles (DNG and ICC), correcting neutral balance and exposure, and provides a standard for colour corrections.
The targets provide a non-subjective standard of comparison to help determine the true colour balance of any colour rendition system. It provides the needed standard for comparing, measuring and analyzing differences in colour reproduction in various processesâavoiding costly mistakes.
Features:
The ColorChecker target is an array of 24 scientifically formulated colors that has been the leading industry color reference target for more than 40 years. It is designed to deliver true-to-life color reproduction so that photographers and filmmakers can predict and control how color will look under any illumination.
Each of the 24 colors found on a ColorChecker target represents the actual color of natural objects, such as human skin tone, foliage, and blue sky, and reflects light just like its real-world counterpart. Since these colors exemplify the color of their counterparts in the natural world and reflect light the same way in all parts of the visible spectrum, the squares will match the colors of representative samples of natural objects under any illumination, and with any color reproduction process. Each solid patch is formulated individually to produce a pure, flat, rich color.
ColorChecker targets have been used by Color perfectionists for the past decade to create custom DNG profiles for Adobe Lightroom® and Photoshop® workflows. You can also build custom ICC camera profiles for use in Capture One® (or other ICC-compatible software) when you combine ColorChecker targets with Calibrite ColorChecker Camera Calibration software. Youâll get accurate color at capture based on specific lighting, camera, and lens combination during any given shoot, saving valuable time in edit.
Taking advantage of a ColorChecker target is easy. Simply include the ColorChecker in your photo or video capture and then later, while editing use it to compare, measure and analyze differences in color reproduction in any color rendition system.
The ColorChecker can help you make global corrections based on accurate information. If you shoot a large number of images that all require the same color correction, you know that editing a few key photos and applying your changes can sometimes change colors you didnât intend to be changed. A shot of the ColorChecker captured under the same lighting as your images will provide a point of reference, so you can see exactly how changes will affect the rest of your colors before you apply them.
This objective standard will help you avoid costly mistakes and trial-and-error color adjustments while editing your images or color grading.
