I used to sell these when I managed a camera store in Orange County, CA. I remember them being mounted on thicker backing then with the unit I just bought. I worry about damaging it.[...]

Comments about X-Rite X-Rite Color Checker Exposure Aid, 8-1/2" x 11":

I use the X-Rite Color Checker to create custom camera profiles for ACR. I have created custom camera profiles using other manf's color charts but did not obtain desired results. Once I used the X-Rite Color Checker there were major improvements in my camera profiles. It is the industry standard!

Comments about X-Rite X-Rite Color Checker Exposure Aid, 8-1/2" x 11":

Useful in unusual lighting situations, where a non-standard illuminant, mixed illuminant, or predominant ambient color is present. If you haven't used a color checker before, this is *the* standard. It comes with a little "using your color checker" card that I found very useful - things to check for, etc.

Comments about X-Rite X-Rite Color Checker Exposure Aid, 8-1/2" x 11":

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.

Comments about X-Rite X-Rite Color Checker Exposure Aid, 8-1/2" x 11":

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.

Use ACR or any other RAW converter and match your colors to the truth.
