Calibrite ColorChecker Classic XL with bag
Color control for photos - from shooting to editing
ColorChecker Classic XL:
This is a larger version of the ColorChecker Classic for shooting from further away, such as at an outdoor event, on a larger set, or for drone photography. With its impressive size of 533.0 x 375.0mm, the ColorChecker Classic XL is the second largest photographic target, with only the ColorChecker Classic MEGA overshadowing its size.
The XL Target is an ideal tool for the following photographic scenarios and more:
-
Wide-angle shots: landscape, city photography, extreme long-distance photography
-
Event photography: concerts, churches, sports, theater, stage
-
Aerial photography: drone photography
ColorChecker Targets are ideal for creating custom camera profiles (DNG and ICC), correcting neutral balance or exposure, and provide a standard for color correction.
The targets provide a neutral comparison standard that can be used to determine the correct color balance of any color rendering system. They provide the standard needed to compare, measure and analyze color rendering deviations in different processes - thus avoiding costly errors.

The ColorChecker Target consists of 24 scientifically formulated colors that have been the industry's leading color reference target for more than 40 years. It is designed to ensure true-to-life color reproduction, allowing photographers and filmmakers to predict and control how colors will behave under different lighting conditions.
Each of the 24 colors found on the ColorChecker Target represents the actual color of natural objects such as skin tones, leaf greens, and blue skies, and reflects light exactly as its realistic counterpart does. Because these colors reflect the colors of their counterparts in the natural world and reflect light in the same way in all parts of the visible spectrum, the color squares match the colors of representative samples of natural objects under any lighting and with any color reproduction process. Each color patch is individually formulated to produce a pure, flat, and rich color.
ColorChecker Targets have been used by color perfectionists for over a decade to create custom DNG profiles for Adobe Lightroom® and Photoshop® workflows. Now you can also create custom ICC camera profiles for use in Capture One® (or other ICC compatible software) when you use ColorChecker Targets with Calibrite ColorChecker Camera Calibration Software. You'll get accurate color when you shoot based on a specific combination of exposure, camera and lens used during a shoot, saving valuable time in editing.
Using a ColorChecker target is easy. Simply integrate the ColorChecker into your photo or video capture and use it later during editing to compare, measure and analyze deviations in color reproduction in any color reproduction system.
The ColorChecker can help you make comprehensive 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. A ColorChecker shot taken under the same lighting conditions as your images provides a reference point so you can see exactly how the changes will affect the rest of your colors before you apply them.
This standard helps you avoid costly mistakes and trial-and-error color adjustments when editing or color correcting your images.
