May not have been necessary for me since I don't do studio work. But it helps to have something standard to judge color in digital processing and printing.

A must for color management

Having a standard that can be counted on for accuracy is a must in any color managed workflow. This chart fits the bill and I have been able to calibrate the last remaining unprofiled source, my camera's sensors. Had no idea that there could be such a difference in a profiled sensor. Highly recommend for anyone serious about color management.
