The ColorChecker Classic Mini Target is more than just a tool; it's a standard for creating custom camera profiles (DNG and ICC), correcting neutral balance and exposure, and providing a benchmark for color corrections. It offers a non-subjective standard of comparison to help you determine the true color balance of any color rendition system, thereby avoiding costly mistakes.
The Calibrite Camera Calibration Software, an optional supporting application and Lightroom plug-in, helps you maximize the potential of the ColorChecker Classic Mini Target. This target is an array of 24 scientifically formulated colors that have been the leading industry color reference target for over 40 years. It's designed to deliver true-to-life color reproduction, allowing you to predict and control how color will look under any illumination.
Each of the 24 colors on the ColorChecker target represents the actual color of natural objects, such as human skin tone, foliage, and blue sky, reflecting light just like its real-world counterpart. Each solid patch is formulated individually to produce a pure, flat, rich color.
The ColorChecker Classic Mini Target has been used by color perfectionists for the past decade to create custom DNG profiles for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop workflows. It also supports building custom ICC camera profiles for use in Capture One (or other ICC-compatible software) when combined with Calibrite ColorChecker Camera Calibration software.
Using the ColorChecker Classic Mini Target is simple. Include it in your photo or video capture and use it later during editing to compare, measure, and analyze differences in color reproduction in any color rendition system. This objective standard will help you avoid costly mistakes and trial-and-error color adjustments while editing your images or color grading.
