Best investment I've made under $100 for my photography. With the camera calibration software that you can download from their website, I was able to make a DCP profile that works in DxO Photolab and now my pictures look more alive. For some reason DxO has awful generic profiles for Panasonic Lumix Cameras, but the DCP profile restores the real colors and even opens up the image a little. Skies look more saturated with deeper blues, skin tones look right, without magenta-ish tones, and pinks and reds look proper now. The thing is, no matter how much I tried, in DxO I just couldn't get the colors I wanted, especially with skin tones. Lightroom/CameraRaw also improves a lot, but the DCP profile was a necessity for DxO. 

The only issue I have with this Color Checker is that it looks so easy to destroy by dropping it in the wrong surface (like dirt). So be very careful with it. I will look into getting a sort of case for it, which I'm sure the more expensive bigger brothers of this color checker come with.
