JPEG SHOOTERS
 
If you aren’t shooting in Raw format, you’ll still gain many great
benefits when you include ColorChecker Passport in your workflow. 
The essential must-have for every photo shoot!
  
No matter what type of photography you shoot, you’ll be able  
to take advantage of the many benefits, getting you the  
end-results you desire in a fraction of the time.
White Balance Target
 • Ensure your JPEG files are captured with the
    correct white point 
 • Eliminate the chance of any extreme white
    balance errors which cannot be corrected  
   later in JPEG workflow
 • Save time on post production edits of each
    individual shot
 • Improve preview and accuracy of histogram
    on the camera 
Creative Enhancement Target
 • Evaluate and optimize shadow details or  
    highlight clipping with gray ramp patches
 • Use as visual reference for color spectrum and  
   color adjustment with HSL (hue, saturation,  
    lightness) patches
Classic Target
 • Photograph the Classic target in the same  
    lighting as your images and use as a visual  
    reference to help with color correction
