ColorChecker Passport

Some element of digital photography forms the basis for most of today's end displays but photographers often fail to grasp and manage the right levels of control which are needed to give colour accuracy. X-Rite's ColorChecker Passport is a neat and inexpensive gadget which lets users reference, control and enhance their images throughout their RAW workflow. It comes with its own set of photographic targets and includes stand-alone camera calibration software.

How does it work? A test image is captured with the appropriate target in situ, and the image is converted to an Adobe DNG file. From there, a profile can be created and exported to any RAW file editor, and this can be used for single and batch processing. ColorChecker Passport is a neat, pocket sized device and only costs ?68.70. It's available from most photographic outlets or more details are available from
