激發(fā)創(chuàng)意的色彩管理工作流程
ColorChecker 通行證是一款的工具，可幫助您在從拍攝到后期處理整個過程中實現(xiàn)全面色彩控制以及自定義創(chuàng)意增強效果。
色彩管理就是指讓顏色從輸入到輸出始終保持一致的技術(shù)。也就是說，相機捕獲逼真色彩，然后顯示器準(zhǔn)確顯示色彩，最后打印機打印出與您在屏幕上看到的色彩一樣的圖像色彩。ColorChecker 通行證是實現(xiàn)百分白色彩管理工作流程的重要組成部分。另外，隨附的增強目標(biāo)可加強創(chuàng)意，快速輕松地編輯并表現(xiàn)出正如您一直想象著的色彩，幫助您進一步提高視覺效果。無論是攝影棚拍攝，還是色彩斑斕的自然景色拍攝，抑或是需要拍攝多張照片的活動拍攝，您都可以通過一次點擊式增強功能，加強照片編輯軟件的效能，從而更好地詮釋您的靈感。
根據(jù)特定相機記錄色彩的原理，以 RAW 格式拍攝可提高對圖像進行色彩校準(zhǔn)的靈活性。校準(zhǔn)后的 RAW 工作流程可地減少相機和鏡頭之間的色差，適用于混合光源，同時還可在不同景色間實現(xiàn)色彩匹配。ColorChecker 通行證可讓相機校準(zhǔn)體驗變得迅速、簡單。由于起點基礎(chǔ)一致，您能夠更好地進行色彩編輯。此外，您可以利用您的 Raw 處理軟件自動將配置文件應(yīng)用到大量的圖像中。
如果您的 RAW 處理應(yīng)用程序不支持自定義 DNG 配置文件，您仍可使用 ColorChecker 通行證為色彩編輯提供實物參考。該增強目標(biāo)還可為 Raw 編輯程序包提供曝光評估和一次點擊白平衡調(diào)節(jié)等功能，只要 Raw 編輯程序包支持這些功能。
白平衡目標(biāo)
從一開始就獲得準(zhǔn)確的白平衡，可確保您捕獲到逼真的色彩，同時還能為拍攝后的編輯工作提供參考。
您將能夠：
o 消除色偏
o 提高相機顯示屏上的色彩預(yù)覽效果，使得直方圖變得更加可靠
o 無需分別對每張圖像進行中性化處理，從而可更快速、更輕松地完成后期制作中的色彩編輯工作
為每種光照環(huán)境設(shè)置自定義白平衡可使相機內(nèi)置顯示屏上的色彩預(yù)覽效果更加準(zhǔn)確，直方圖更加可靠，同時還可加快后期制作中色彩編輯的進程。要獲得這些益處，采用 Raw 格式拍攝的攝影師可在拍攝過程中隨時拍攝白平衡目標(biāo)，而以 JPEG 格式拍攝的攝影師則必須在拍攝張照片時就拍攝白平衡目標(biāo)。
| 為何不能任意使用任何白色物體？ |
| 紙張中的白平衡或景色中的其他灰色元素似乎可作為一個簡單的變通方法，但實際上大部分物體在所有光照條件下并不會都為中性，并且這些物體本身肯定也不一致。如果白平衡不準(zhǔn)確，會導(dǎo)致出現(xiàn)色偏，并且在不同的光照條件間還會缺乏一致性。 |
創(chuàng)意性增強目標(biāo)
全新的增強目標(biāo)可為您的工作流程加強色彩創(chuàng)意和控制能力。增強目標(biāo)由四行色塊組成，只需按一下滴管，即可輕松執(zhí)行圖像編輯。無論是攝影棚拍攝，還是色彩斑斕的風(fēng)景拍攝，抑或是多場景的活動拍攝，您都可以在幾乎任何 Raw 處理軟件中加強照片編輯軟件的效能。
中間兩行暖調(diào)和冷調(diào)色塊可指導(dǎo)您創(chuàng)建令人合意且可重復(fù)性的編輯。您可以通過調(diào)暖膚色或加深風(fēng)景中的綠色或藍(lán)色，改善圖像的色彩，令其更具創(chuàng)意效果。您只需單擊每個色塊，便可查看調(diào)整效果，然后選擇的一個。接著，保存設(shè)置并將其應(yīng)用到在同一光照條件下拍攝的其他圖像中，以創(chuàng)建令人滿意的編輯——一切就是如此簡單！
在溢出方面，增強目標(biāo)突出了處理 Raw 格式的功能。底部一行溢出色塊可用作判斷、控制和編輯圖像中陰影細(xì)節(jié)或高光溢出的視覺參考。盡管預(yù)覽時可能顯示丟失了陰影或高光細(xì)節(jié)，但可能是處理軟件正好將其溢出，但所有這些細(xì)節(jié)其實保留于 RAW 文件內(nèi)。通過小心校準(zhǔn)，您可以恢復(fù)這些細(xì)節(jié)。
這些溢出色塊可分為兩組：亮色塊和暗色塊。亮色塊依次排列，每兩個色塊之間存在 1/3 F 制光圈的曝光差異。暗色塊排列方式相同，但個色塊除外，它代表 ColorChecker 目標(biāo)中最暗的色塊。最暗色塊和次最暗色塊之間的曝光差異大概為 1/10 檔光圈，目標(biāo)的動態(tài)范圍大概為 32:1（5 檔）。在 Adobe 應(yīng)用程序中，同時使用這些色塊和溢出預(yù)覽可確保您沒有丟失細(xì)節(jié)。
HSL（色相、飽和度、亮度）色塊行位于增強目標(biāo)的頂部，包含 8 個光譜色塊，可確保所有色相的色彩保真性，這樣您就可以評估并編輯任何色彩變化。
CLASSIC 目標(biāo)
攝行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn) ColorChecker Classic 是確保在拍攝中獲得一致、可預(yù)測性色彩的重要步驟。ColorChecker 通行證包含由 24 色塊組成的旅行版 Classic 目標(biāo)。結(jié)合相機校準(zhǔn)軟件使用時，您可以根據(jù)相機對環(huán)境光照的反應(yīng)情況為相機建立 DNG 配置文件，以在各圖像及相機間獲得一致、可預(yù)測及可重復(fù)的結(jié)果。
Classic 目標(biāo)還提供可視的色彩參考點。在與拍攝圖像相同的光照條件下拍攝該目標(biāo)，然后在照片處理軟件中將其打開作為參考，以幫助進行色彩校正。24 色塊中的每一個色塊都代表自然物體的顏色，例如天藍(lán)色、膚色和葉綠色，并且每個色塊都能猶如其真實世界的對應(yīng)物一樣的反射光線。每個方塊都采用純色調(diào)單獨著色，以產(chǎn)生逼真、一致、鮮艷的色彩，也沒有任何網(wǎng)點或混合涂料。
Classic 可幫助您基于精準(zhǔn)信息執(zhí)行全局校正。如果您拍攝了大量圖像，而這些圖像都要求相同的色彩校正，您明白，編輯幾張重要照片并應(yīng)用這些更改有時會改變一些您本不想更改的色彩。在與拍攝圖像相同的光照條件下拍攝的 ColorChecker Classic 圖像可提供參考點，這樣您可以在應(yīng)用這些更改前確切了解這些更改將如何影響其他色彩。由于您所作的更改可應(yīng)用于一張或一組圖像，您可在所有圖像間取得一致性。
相機校準(zhǔn)軟件
使用行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn) 24 色塊 ColorChecker——ColorChecker Classic 目標(biāo)——建立自定義 DNG 配置文件。利用內(nèi)置的 ColorChecker 通行證相機校準(zhǔn)應(yīng)用程序和 Lightroom® 插件，您可快速、輕松地為包括 Lightroom®、Photoshop®、Photoshop® Elements、Camera Raw (ACR) 和 Adobe® Bridge 在內(nèi)的各種 Adobe® 成像解決方案建立 DNG 配置文件。
這項全新、*的色彩管理技術(shù)只需使用尺寸小巧的 24 色塊 ColorChecker Classic 目標(biāo)，便可提供出色的效果，同時還可建立 DNG 配置文件，即使在非一般的人造光源中也能發(fā)揮很好的作用。此外，軟件的自動檢測功能會自動定位目標(biāo)。不管您正在使用一部或多部相機拍攝，都可以輕松建立精準(zhǔn)的色彩基礎(chǔ)，并保持對色彩的控制。
o 采用 Raw 格式拍攝的攝影師使用相機校準(zhǔn)軟件可以更好地校準(zhǔn)圖像并修正色彩
o 精準(zhǔn)的色彩為創(chuàng)意詮釋提供了一致的基礎(chǔ)
o 將相機和鏡頭之間的色差降至
o 適應(yīng)混合的光照條件
o 使色彩平衡在不同的場景間保持一致
可創(chuàng)建雙光源 DNG 配置文件是該軟件所提供的一項強大功能。這種配置文件在創(chuàng)建單個配置文件時會同時考慮兩種不同的光源，可應(yīng)用于范圍更廣的各種光照條件。雙光源配置文件可使用 21 種受支持的光源中的任意 2 種光源進行創(chuàng)建，允許您對您可能遇到的任何光照條件建立配置文件。雙光源配置文件可讓您無需切換配置文件，便可自由地在所代表的光照條件間移動。
通行證大小的外殼
ColorChecker 通行證非常便于攜帶。確保您每次拍攝時都能與您隨行！ColorChecker 通行證的旅行裝外殼可提供的便利性。外殼由堅固材料制成，可盛裝三個 ColorChecker 目標(biāo)，同時還可在日常使用中保護目標(biāo)免受惡劣自然環(huán)境的影響，延長其使用壽命。此外，方便使用的繩索可便于攜帶通行證，并且可在每次拍攝時方便您隨時取用。
通行證外殼具有自站立功能，可作多種定位，允許您靈活地將目標(biāo)準(zhǔn)確放置在您需要的位置。無論您需要拍攝單張白平衡目標(biāo)，以 90 度拍攝 Classic 目標(biāo)或增強目標(biāo)，還是使這兩個目標(biāo)處于同一水平面同時進行拍攝，通行證外殼都能擺放妥當(dāng)，滿足您的要求。ColorChecker 通行證還配有便利的繩索。

Product Features:
A Color-Managed Workflow that Inspires Creativity
ColorChecker Passport offers you an unparalleled tool to attain full color control and customized creative enhancement from image capture to post-processing.
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. The ColorChecker Passport is an essential component to attaining a 99% color-managed workflow. Plus, the included Enhancement target helps you take your vision one step further by providing the creativity to quickly and easily edit and express your colors just as you’ve always imagined. Whether it’s a studio shot, a colorful nature scene or a multiple photo event, you can extend the power of your photo editing software with one-click enhancements that articulate your inspiration.
Shooting Raw provides greater flexibility to color-adjust images based on how a particular camera captures color. A calibrated Raw workflow minimizes color differences between cameras and lenses, adapts for mixed lighting, and makes it possible to color match across different scenes. ColorChecker Passport makes the camera calibration experience fast and easy. You’ll have greater capability to edit color because you’re starting with a consistent foundation. Plus, you’ll be able to take advantage of your Raw processing software to automatically apply your profiles to a large number of images.
If your Raw processing application does not support custom DNG profiles, you can still use ColorChecker Passport to provide a physical reference for color editing. The Enhancement Target also offers such things as exposure evaluation and one-click white balancing for Raw editing packages that support these features.
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.
The ColorChecker White Balance target is an all-new spectrally flat target that provides a neutral reference point across different lighting conditions that you encounter during a photo shoot. Since the target reflects light equally across the visible spectrum, creating an in-camera custom white balance can properly compensate for varying lighting.
You'll be able to:
o Eliminate color casts
o Improve the color preview on your camera’s display so your histograms are more reliable
o Make post production color editing faster and easier by eliminating the need to neutralize each image individually
Setting a custom white balance for each lighting situation will make the previews on your camera’s built in display more color correct, make your histograms more reliable, and speed up post production color editing. Raw shooters can capture anytime during the session to gain these benefits, while JPEG shooters should make it your first shot.
| Why can’t I use just any white object? |
| White balancing on 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 will result in color casts and a lack of consistency between lighting conditions. |
CREATIVE ENHANCEMENT TARGET
The all-new Enhancement Target provides a higher level of color creativity and control to your workflow. The Enhancement target includes four rows of color patches designed for image editing with just the click of an eyedropper. Whether it’s a studio shot, a colorful landscape or a multiple scene photo event, you can extend the power of your photo editing software in virtually any Raw processing software.
Two rows of warming and cooling patches in the middle guide 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 through the patches to view the adjustment, and select the one that provides your optimal look. Then, save the setting and apply it to other images that were shot under that same lighting to create pleasing edits – it’s that easy!
When it comes to clipping, the Enhancement target highlights the power of working in Raw. 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. Although it may appear from a preview that shadow or highlight details have been lost, it is possible that the processing software just clipped them and they are still available in the Raw file. With some careful adjustments, you may be able to bring them back.
The clipping patches are separated into two groups: light and dark. The light patches are ordered with 1/3 of an F-stop difference between them. The dark patches are ordered the same, with the exception of the last patch; which represents the blackest patch in the ColorChecker target. 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). In Adobe applications, use these patches along with the clipping preview to ensure you are not losing details.
Across the top of the Enhancement target, 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.
CLASSIC TARGET
Photographing the industry standard ColorChecker Classic is an important step in attaining consistent, predictable color at capture. The ColorChecker Passport includes a travel-sized version of the Classic 24 patch target. When combined with camera calibration software you can produce DNG profiles of your camera’s response to scene lighting to 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 it in the same lighting as your images; then open it in your photo processing software as a reference to help with color correction. 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.
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 affect the rest of your colors before you apply them. Since your changes can be applied to one photo or a group of images, you’ll achieve consistency throughout your images.
CAMERA CALIBRATION SOFTWARE
Build custom DNG profiles with the ColorChecker Classic Target, the industry standard 24-patch ColorChecker. With the included ColorChecker Passport Camera Calibration Application and Lightroom® Plug-In, you can quickly and easily build DNG profiles for Adobe® Imaging solutions including Lightroom®, Photoshop®, Photoshop® Elements, Camera Raw (ACR) and Adobe® Bridge.
This new advanced profiling technology provides excellent results with just the small 24-patch ColorChecker Classic target, producing DNG profiles that work exceptionally well, even in unusual artificial light sources. Plus, software auto-detection will locate the target automatically. Whether you are shooting with just one camera or multiple cameras, you’ll easily establish an accurate color foundation and maintain control of your colors.
o Camera calibration for Raw shooters enables greater capability to calibrate and correct color
o Accurate color gives a consistent foundation for creative interpretation
o Minimize color differences between cameras and lenses
o Adapt for mixed lighting
o Make color balance match across different scenes
A very powerful feature of the software is the ability to create dual-illuminant DNG profiles. This type of profile takes into account 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, allowing you to create a profile for just about any kind of lighting condition you may encounter. Dual-illuminant profiles allow you the freedom to move between the represented lighting conditions without switching profiles.
PASSPORT-SIZED CASE
ColorChecker Passport is so convenient and portable. Make sure you take it with you to every shoot! The ColorChecker Passport’s travel-sized case provides the ultimate in convenience. Made of a rugged material, it houses and protects the three ColorChecker targets from the elements and daily use to extend their lifespan. Plus, the handy lanyard makes it easy to transport and keeps it handy during every photo shoot.
The Passport case is adjusts to multiple positions to self-stand, allowing you the flexibility to place the targets exactly where you need them. Whether you need a single shot of the White Balance target, a 90-degree shot of the Classic or Enhancement target, or a parallel shot of them together, the Passport case can be perfectly positioned. ColorChecker Passport also includes a convenient lanyard.
