This new advanced proling technology provides
excellent results with just the small 24-patch ColorChecker
Classic target, producing DNG proles that work
exceptionally well, even in unusual articial light sources.
Plus, software auto-detection will locate the target auto-
matically.Whetheryouareshootingwithjustonecam-

color foundation and maintain control of your colors.

Create Dual-Illuminant Proles
A very powerful feature of the software is the ability to
create dual-illuminant DNG proles. This type of prole
takes into account two dierent light sources to create a
single prole, which can be applied to an even wider
variety of lighting conditions. Dual-Illuminant proles
can be made with any two of twenty-one supported
illuminants, allowing you to create a prole for just
about any kind of lighting condition you may encounter.
Dual-illuminant proles allow you the freedom to move
between the represented lighting conditions without
switching proles.
CLASSIC TARGET
Combine the Classic target with included camera
calibration software to produce DNG proles of your
camera’s response to scene lighting so you get consistent,
predictable and repeatable results from image to image
and camera to camera.
The Classic Target also provides a visual point of color
reference. Photograph the Classic target in the same light-
ing as your images; then open it in your photo processing
software as a reference to help with color correction.

The Classic 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 Classic
captured under the same lighting as your images will
provide a point of reference, so you can see exactly how
changes will aect the rest of your colors before you
apply them.
