Achieve Perfect Color Accuracy in Photography and Video
For photographers and filmmakers, achieving true-to-life color is the foundation of a great image. The Calibrite ColorChecker Classic XL is the industry-standard tool designed to deliver perfect color fidelity, giving you the power to predict and control how color appears under any lighting condition. For over 40 years, professionals have relied on the ColorChecker's 24 scientifically formulated color patches to create a reliable point of reference, ensuring that what they capture is what they get.
Each of the 24 colors represents natural, everyday objects like human skin tones, foliage, and blue sky. These patches are designed to reflect light just like their real-world counterparts across the entire visible spectrum. This means that under any light source and with any camera, you have an objective standard for color. The result is a workflow built on accuracy, not guesswork. By incorporating the ColorChecker Classic XL into your shoot, you can eliminate costly mistakes and time-consuming trial-and-error adjustments in post-production.
The process is simple yet incredibly powerful. Just capture a reference shot with the ColorChecker target included. Later, in your editing suite, use the target to build custom DNG or ICC camera profiles for software like Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, or Capture One. These profiles correct for the unique combination of your specific camera, lens, and lighting, neutralizing color casts and ensuring consistent, predictable results. This saves invaluable time, especially when editing a large volume of images, allowing you to apply batch corrections with confidence. This XL version is perfect for wide shots, event photography, and filmmaking, and includes a durable case for protection during transport and storage.
