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 530 x 370mm, the Classic XL is the second-largest photographic target, with only the ColorChecker Classic Mega overshadowing its size.

• A large 24-patch target (530 x 375mm) featuring superb color accuracy
• Ideal for large spaces and room sets where smaller targets may get lost in the scene
• Works with the ColorChecker Camera Calibration software to create ACR or ICC profiles

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 color corrections.

The targets provide a non-subjective standard of comparison to help determine the true color balance of any color rendition system. It provides the needed standard for comparing, measuring and analyzing differences in color reproduction in various processes-avoiding costly mistakes.

Optional Supporting Software
The Calibrite Camera Calibration Software is a supporting application and Lightroom plug-in to enable you to get the most of the target.

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. You'll 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 didn't 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.
