I bought this product for one my first studio class. It has been a great necessity due to that I am very picky about color calibration.

Now my prints and what I see on the computer monitor are the same. Much less time spent on the computer doing color corrections. Great with LightRoom and PhotoShop.

Comments about X-Rite X-Rite Digital ColorChecker Passport, Exposure & White Balance System.:

Very useful in tough lighting situations where there is a mix of sources. Software and camera profile are extremely easy to use and set up. Only complaint I have is that the WB card is pretty small and need to get very close to fill the frame, potentially blocking the light.

Do not just open by this item thinking you will be able to use perfectly the first time. I have used many forms of color checkers over the past 5 years and I do love this one the most. But, it took me a few trying to get figure out exactly how to hold it, how to position so I am getting an accurate reading of all the light sources and reflected light sources.

Indoors in a studio I had no problem what so ever, it worked perfectly. When I take photos outside where I had many light sources to do light reflecting off different objects I sometimes took more then one image of the Passport. But this can be corrected with time and practice.

The software was to setup and use, I use it on Adobe Lightroom 2. I do not like the fact that I have to restart Lightroom every time I make a new profile but that could have been fixed in Lightroom 3.

With a correctly calibrated monitor and the Passport, photographers should have no problem getting accurate color each and ever print/web-posting.

As part of a continuing color management process, this is a fine addition to your toolkit. I set custom WB for different lighting and lens combinations and can verify them periodically as needed.

Note the Passport is only for camera settings; additional tools are needed to calibrate monitors and printers.

There are time when color accuracy matters. A bride knows the color of her lipstick, her bridesmaid's dresses, etc... X-Rite ColorChecker Passport allows you to re-capture the true colors in post-processing, and, brings your shots back to the life and vibrancy you saw on the viewfinder when you process using Lightroom. It has simplified my post-processing workflow and taken out alot of guesswork in trying to get accurate colors when it matters.

After years of not having convincing color calibration from my printer, I decided to see if the Color Checker Passport would give any clues.
After a very simple set-up the first tests revealed the problem - the printer was correct, the screen was wrong!! Now I have a different screen calibrator too and the whole chain is calibrated.
Very simple to use and gives consistent results in Lightroom.

Works in any situation - the only concern I have is the surround of the color card is a little narrow and I worry about getting fingerprints on the color swatches.

It will save much time for you.
I take to pictures of each chart every time and as my monitor is calibrated with few clicks for all the photos that I have taken in the same lighting conditions I get proper colors right away.
