Now even more powerful - create both custom DNG and ICC camera profiles!
Build custom camera profiles using the industry standard 24-patch ColorChecker Classic target or the 140-patch ColorChecker Digital SG target together with X-Rite ColorChecker Camera Calibration software.
Effective color management is all about getting your colors to match from input to output. That means your camera captures true colors, your monitor displays them accurately, and your printer produces a photo that matches what you see on screen. Including a custom camera profile in your editing workflow will deliver consistent, predictable and repeatable results from image to image and camera to camera. You’ll save valuable time and money!
- Minimize color differences between cameras and lenses
- Adapt for mixed lighting
- Match color across different scenes
- Maintain a consistent color base for creative interpretation
- Apply a profile to a large collection of images to reduce editing time
ColorChecker Camera Calibration software is available as a stand-alone application, and an Adobe Lightroom Plug-In. Both solutions produce fast and accurate custom camera profiles. This advanced profiling technology provides excellent results producing custom camera profiles that work exceptionally well, even in unusual artificial light sources.
Supported Software
DNG profiles: Adobe Lightroom Classic CC, Photoshop CC, Bridge
ICC profiles: Capture One, Adobe Camera Raw
This advanced camera profiling technology provides excellent results with either ColorChecker Classic or Digital SG reference targets, producing custom camera profiles that work exceptionally well under virtually any lighting condition. Whether you are shooting with just one camera or multiple cameras, Color Perfectionists can easily establish an accurate color foundation and maintain control of their colors.
ICC, DNG and Dual-Illuminant DNG
X-Rite has provided the tools to create both single and dual-illuminant DNG camera profiles since 2009 and is an industry standard when working in Adobe Imaging solutions. Now you can also create ICC camera profiles with both the ColorChecker Classic and Digital SG targets for use in Capture One, Adobe Camera Raw and other ICC compatible software.
A dual-illuminant DNG profile combines two images taken under different light sources to create a single profile, which can be applied to an even wider variety of lighting conditions. Dual-Illuminant profiles can be made with any two of twenty-one supported illuminants, giving you the freedom to move between most lighting conditions without switching profiles.
Target Auto-Detection
Auto-detection locates the target automatically making the profile creation process a breeze. Or, alternatively, you can manually locate the target by clicking each target corner and with a click of a button your profile will be generated.
Supported Targets
ColorChecker Classic: DNG and ICC profiles
ColorChecker Digital SG: DNG and ICC profiles
The ColorChecker Classic target is comprised of 24 color patches and will produce excellent profile quality. The software supports any size Classic target – including Classic Nano, Classic Mini, Classic Standard, Classic XL and Classic MEGA.
The ColorChecker Digital SG target contains an extended color gamut within 140 color patches providing an even higher profile quality when creating ICC profiles./p>
