CALIBRITE COLORCHECKER PASSPORT PHOTO 2

Helping to achieve accurate color and exposure in an especially compact package, the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Photo 2 is a portable and versatile solution to ensure accurate reproduction from the moment of capture. By combining four separate lenses in one pocket-sized cabinet, Passport Photo 2 also features updated v1.2 camera calibration software for creating DNG and ICC camera profiles, as well as a dedicated Adobe Photoshop Lightroom plug-in for custom publishing. . production profiles.
Gray balance target
An 18% medium gray lens has been added to the Passport's design, and this de facto neutral standard lens is perfect for ensuring accurate exposures when using reflective light meters, as well as removing unwanted color casts during post-production.
White balance lens
Designed to be spectrally neutral and reflect light evenly across the visible spectrum, this white target serves as a neutral reference point to accurately compensate for different lighting conditions. Compared to other seemingly simple white objects, the spectral response of this lens ensures greater precision and consistency for creating white balance settings while shooting.
Classic lens
A compact version of the industry standard ColorChecker Classic lens, this 24-patch grid is used to ensure accurate color reproduction from capture to post-production. It is used in conjunction with calibration software to create custom profiles and allows you to compare the camera's response to various lighting conditions. The 24 patches represent common colors of natural objects, including sky blue, skin tones, and green foliage, and each patch has been individually colored to produce a rich, flat, pure color solid tone with natural reflectance.

In addition to Color Calibration v1.2 software, this lens is also compatible with Hasselblad Phocus software, Black Magic DaVinci Resolve, and 3D LUT Creator.
Creative improvement goal
Designed for creative color applications, this lens includes four rows of color patches for adding repeatable color effects in post-production by selecting the patch with an eyedropper tool. There are two rows of heating and cooling patches in the middle of the lens to add consistent color tone effects to images. The bottom row consists of clipping patches for making black and white dot adjustments, and these patches are separated into light and dark groups with 1/3 step differences between them, with the exception of the last patch which has a 1 / 10 in passing. difference, and results in a total dynamic range of 32: 1 or 5 stops. The top row includes eight hue, saturation, and lightness spectrum patches to ensure color accuracy across all hues to better assess and edit unwanted color changes.
Color calibration software
Updated to version 1.2, available color calibration software works in conjunction with Passport Photo 2 to help create custom color profiles and achieve accurate colors during post-production. This revised version offers the ability to create DNG and ICC camera profiles using the ColorChecker Classic lens. The software automatically recognizes the target for easy use, and after creating color profiles for different lighting conditions, this process helps minimize color differences between shots, better match mixed lighting conditions, and match the balance of color from scene to scene.

For even greater flexibility, dual-lighting DNG profiles can be created, combining images taken with two different light sources to create a single profile that can be applied to an even wider variety of lighting conditions. These profiles can be created using two of the 21 compatible illuminants to provide greater freedom to shoot between various lighting conditions without having to switch profiles.

Additionally, beyond dedicated color calibration software, an Adobe Photoshop Lightroom plug-in is also available to create custom camera profiles directly in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Classic CC.
Passport case
One of the features of course, its passport style pocket case. Compared to other large lenses, which tend to be fragile or susceptible to damage, the Passport's compact form factor coupled with the travel-sized hard plastic case makes it easy to carry around at all times.
