With more color science experience than anyone in the industry, the Color Checker Passport Photo 2 was truly created by Color Perfectionists for Color Perfectionists.

One passport. A world of colorful creative places to explore.


It’s a passport to a more perfect place, to a stress-free and consistent state, to a land of infinite creative possibilities.

ColorChecker Passport Photo 2 is an indispensable tool that helps you capture the colors of the world more perfectly and ensures that from capture to edit, you are beginning with the most accurate files possible.

The art of 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.

ColorChecker Passport Photo 2 is an essential component for your color-managed workflow. It includes 4 targets, giving you everything you need for exposure control, white balance, camera profiling, and creative enhancements wherever your creativity leads you.

GRAY BALANCE TARGET



18% middle gray is the industry de facto standard reference used to produce consistent image exposure and/or color in film and photography. Use it with a reflective light meter or your in-camera meter to check lighting ratios and light distribution. Plus, it can be used to neutral balance and remove color casts.

Set proper camera exposure
Check lighting ratios, important for portrait photography
Alternate choice for custom neutral balancing of your camera
WHITE BALANCE TARGET



Starting with an accurate white balance ensures the colors you capture are true and provides a point of reference for post-shoot editing. This target is created to exacting standards to be spectrally neutral and reflect light equally across the visible spectrum. This provides a neutral reference point to accurately compensate for different lighting conditions.

Eliminate color casts
Improve the color preview on camera display
Speed up post production – eliminate the need to neutralize each image separately

Note: Raw shooters can capture this target anytime during the session.
JPEG shooters should make it their first shot.
“Why can’t I use just any white object?”



White balancing with a piece of paper or other gray element in the scene may seem like a simple workaround, but most objects are not actually neutral under all lighting conditions; and they’re certainly not consistent. An inaccurate white balance results in color casts and a lack of consistency as lighting conditions change. This can slow down your post processing as you attempt to fix the resulting color casts.

CLASSIC TARGET



Photographing the industry-standard ColorChecker Classic is an important step in attaining consistent, predictable color at capture. When combined with the Camera Calibration Software, you can produce custom DNG and/or ICC profiles of your camera’s response to scene lighting for consistent, predictable and repeatable results from image to image and camera to camera.

The Classic target also provides a visual point of color reference so you can see exactly how color corrections will affect the rest of your colors before you apply them. Each of the 24 color patches represents the colors of natural objects, such as sky blue, skin tones and leaf green; and each patch reflects light just like its real-world counterpart. Each square is individually colored using a solid tone to produce pure, flat, rich color without dots or mixed tints.

ColorChecker Classic target is also supported by these 3rd party software solutions:
Hasselblad Phocus
Black Magic DaVinci Resolve
3D LUT Creator
CREATIVE ENHANCEMENT TARGET



The Creative Enhancement Target adds a higher level of color creativity and control to your workflow. It includes four rows of color patches designed for image editing that can be instantly applied with just the click of an eyedropper.

Two rows of warming and cooling patches in the middle serve as a creative guide for you to create pleasing and repeatable edits. Creatively refine the color of your image by adding warmth to skin tones or boost the deep greens or blues in a landscape. Simply click and sync your selection to other images that were shot under that same lighting to create pleasing edits – it’s that simple!
A row of clipping patches across the bottom serve as a visual reference for judging, controlling and editing images for shadow details or highlight clipping. The clipping patches are separated into two groups: light and dark. Each patch is 1/3 F-stop difference between them with the exception of the last black patch. The exposure difference between the darkest and next darkest patch is approximately 1/10th of a stop, and the dynamic range of the target is about 32:1 (5 stops).
The top HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) row includes 8 spectrum patches to ensure color fidelity across all hues so you can evaluate and edit for any color shifts.
CAMERA CALIBRATION SOFTWARE



Now even more powerful - create both custom DNG and/or ICC camera profiles!
Build custom camera profiles using the industry standard 24-patch ColorChecker Classic Target or the ColorChecker Digital SG Target together with either the stand-alone ColorChecker Camera Calibration software or the Adobe Lightroom® Plug-In.

This advanced camera profiling technology provides excellent results with either reference target, producing profiles that work exceptionally well under virtually any lighting condition. Auto-detection will locate the target automatically making the profile creation process a breeze. 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.

Minimize color differences between cameras and lenses
Adapt for mixed lighting
Match color balance across different scenes
Dual - Illuminant DNG Profiles
A dual-illuminant profile combines images taken under two 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.

PASSPORT CASE



ColorChecker Passport Photo 2 was designed for absolute convenience and portability so you can take it with you to every shoot. The travel-sized case is made of a rugged plastic material that houses and protects the four targets from the elements and extends their lifespan.

The self-standing Passport case adjusts to multiple positions, allowing you the flexibility to place the targets exactly where you need them. Plus, the included lanyard ensures your Passport is close at hand during every photo shoot.
